Health Champions
“Volunteers supporting health in the community throughout Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly”
What is the Health Champion Scheme?
The Health Champion scheme offers the opportunity for volunteers to work with NHS projects that support the health of Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly communities.
Volunteering will offer people the opportunity to improve their own health and wellbeing, while making new friends along the way.
How to get involved.
Volunteers can become involved with these various projects by signing up as a Health Champion. This involves a CRB (Criminal Records Bureau) check, health questionnaire, references etc. But you could soon be part of the team. Opportunities range from general admin, to delivering sessions.
Throughout involvement with these projects you will also be supported by a professional. We will encourage Health Champions with training to enhance and support your volunteering and personal development.
Basic expenses, such as travel costs will be covered.
You can find out more information by going to your local Volunteer Cornwall Centre, find your nearest centre at: www.ccfv.co.uk or call Volunteer Centre Enquiries: 01872 265307.
They also offer a great range of additional training and support. You can gain accreditation for what you do as a Health Champion through Volunteer Cornwall.
