Community Champions Programme

Minutes:

With the pause in shielding at the end of March it is anticipated that there will be a decrease in referrals.  Main focus of referrals are currently around fuel poverty.  The council is looking at how the hub can be structured and organised going forward.

 

The Council has received £88,000 from government for 2 Health Improvement Officers, who will sit within the Community and Wellbeing team, working closely alongside other health professionals.  Main focus will be recruiting Community Champions, who will be volunteers within the borough and will assist with promoting information, including screening appointments etc.
