Active Living Community Champions: Information Collection
Community Champions are an important part of the Active Living Strategy at Merri Health that aims to increase participation, inclusion and safety in active living settings in Merri-bek.
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.
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 Community Champions model can be utilised by local sporting clubs and other settings to share information to increase participation in active living in Merri-bek – local sporting events, information sessions, programs. Community Champions work closely with the active living team to 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.
Please let us know what information you would like Community Champions to share with the Merri-bek community.
