Building a strong, healthy community together 

 

Background 

Some individuals from diverse backgrounds often face unique challenges. We collaborate with partners to ensure equitable access to information and create platforms for sharing insights and feedback from our diverse communities. 

 

Who are Community Champions? 

Community Champions are ambassadors for their communities. They play a vital role in gathering community interests and questions about local services. We equipt them with accurate information to share within their networks, aiming to foster informed discussions and raise awareness. 

Anyone can become a Community Champion. We welcome individuals from diverse backgrounds, cultures, faiths, ages, and interests to represent the rich diversity of Mid Sussex. 

 

Coming Together 

Champions can engage as actively as they choose, receiving updates via email, WhatsApp, Facebook, and participating in webinars. We aim to organise regular gatherings and online webinars featuring speakers who discuss relevant topics, ensuring our Community Champions receive tailored, reliable information.
