As a network of individuals, local groups and organisations, Community Champions use their passion, life experience and skills to support and inspire Ealing’s diverse communities to thrive. The programme enables stronger connections, opportunities to learn new knowledge and skills, and provides support to communities to improve the places we live for all.

They make a big difference by starting conversations about the issues that are affecting their community and signposting them to relevant support and services. Through these conversations and connections to the programme, champions empower their friends, family, neighbours and wider connections to lead healthy lives and flourish.

As trusted figures in their own networks, champions also help the council and partner organisations understand what the health and wellbeing priorities are in our 7 towns by feeding back what is working well and what improvements are needed. Community champions from communities currently underrepresented and most affected by health inequalities are crucial to creating sustainable change in the places that need it most.
