COVID-19 continues to impact us all. Volunteer as a COVID-19 Community Champion to help make sure everyone in Richmond upon Thames understands how to keep safe during the pandemic.
COVID-19 Community Champions are residents in Richmond upon Thames who help keep people aware, informed and up-to-date with the information they need to stay safe and healthy. This could be by having conversations, through Facebook or WhatsApp groups, Zoom calls, or any way that suits you.
By having and sharing clear information, you will empower your friends, family and community to make informed choices that may save lives.
Anyone who lives in the borough can become a COVID-19 Community Champion. You could be a young person, older resident, parent, essential worker, carer, someone who is shielding etc. You just need to be willing to help share accurate information to keep other people safe!
You will be fully supported to carry out your role. We will give you the information and messages to share. The information will be shared via email, WhatsApp or Facebook, and you can choose how you would like to receive these updates. There is no need to have any training – simply sign up and start helping!
To help raise awareness of COVID-19 Community Champions, we ask that you are willing to supply videos and photos of your experiences of COVID-19 for us to share with residents via our own channels. You will be guided through this process.
