Increasing participation, inclusion and safety in active living settings in Merri-bek.
What is it?
Community Champions are local residents from culturally diverse backgrounds that are well connected with the community, have good communication skills and feel passionately about active living.
They share key messages, and act as a ‘connection’ between clubs, active recreation services and community to improve the community’s access to active living opportunities.
The Community Champions’ model recognises that building the capacity of well-connected community members can support access to a range of local active living programs and events and important health services and improve health knowledge and literacy.
The model can be utilised by local sporting clubs and other settings to share information to increase participation in local sporting events, information sessions, programs and activities in Merri-bek.
