Wirral Community Champions

What is a Community Champion?

Community Champions are trusted local volunteers who:

• Promote health and wellbeing.

• Share vital information with their communities.

• Help build trust between residents and public health services.

• Reach and support communities that may be underrepresented or overlooked.

This approach is rooted in community-led action, empowering residents to shape healthier, more connected neighbourhoods.

Why are we relaunching now?

The COVID-19 pandemic showed us the power of listening and working alongside communities. Relaunching the programme means:

• Embedding those lessons into everyday practice.

• Strengthening local leadership.

• Ensuring Wirral’s communities continue to thrive through collaboration.
