Community champions

Community champions are volunteers of like-minded people who can share ideas and experiences from their communities to improve the health and wellbeing of local people.

Our community champions vision is to build on the skills and knowledge of local people to create, happy, friendly and healthy communities across the Epping Forest district.

What is a community champion?

Community champions can help you to:

• Get to know what’s going on in the local area
• Learn more about how to stay healthy and active
• Access local services you might need
• Organise community events

There is an ongoing recruitment campaign to recruit volunteers from the towns and parishes within the Epping Forest district.
