The Reading Community Health Champions programme is a platform to connect with the local community to inform and provide feedback to empower people to make improvements to their health.

It is not the role of a Community Champion to:

*Provide medical advice to residents.

*Act as a health expert or enforce health measures or opinions.

* Applying personal interpretations to the guidance. If people are in doubt, they can ask for clarification.

However, you can get involved to:

* Help circulate health evidence-based information or advice that is NHS or Public Health approved.

*Ensure that the local community are aware and have knowledge of information, services and activities that are important to their health and well-being.

*Build the confidence, knowledge, skills and capacity about health of local people in Reading.

*Share your learning with other Community Health Champions.

Report back to the Community Health Champions programme team regularly and clearly to highlight any insights, barriers or concerns that have been raised by the community

Attend meetings to know about the latest information and guidance.

Attend and/or host health workshop events to share information or take part in Public Health promotional activities.
