Community champion schemes form part of a range of community centred approaches that can be used to build healthier communities and address health inequalities. Usually, “Community Champions” are members of the community who work with their peers and a range of organisations to share information and promote health and wellbeing.

This is the second webinar in our Healthy Communities series. It is supported by the OHID Healthy Communities network, in partnership with the Public Health Intervention Responsive Studies Team- PHIRST. This webinar will:

  • Share the findings and learning from two PHIRST Community Champions Evaluations
  • Recognise the value in investing in community centred approaches and ensuring learning from Covid-19 is not lost.
  • Focus on the theme of evaluation.
  • Continue to build evidence base and share impact of use of community champion approaches.

You will be presented with two short case studies focused on the two different but complementary evaluation approaches. Those involved will share their insights and learning.

This will be followed by discussion and Q&A session related to challenges of, and opportunities for, undertaking evaluations/demonstrating impact within this context.
