What they do
Bolder Healthier Champions work with us as important advocates on key health topics. They take part in training and share information so that local communities can take control of their own health and wellbeing.
Champions will be supported through:
- monthly meetings
- opportunities for training
- in-person events
- a network of Champions
- resources to use in ongoing work
By attending sessions focused on topical issues affecting local communities, you will gain knowledge and skills to improve the health and wellbeing of those around you.
This programme is shaped by the champions who take part. You will have opportunities to influence and develop this programme to make sure it delivers the greatest benefit to your communities.
These are three types of Champions. Each with its own programme.
- Community Champions

- Youth Champions
