Community champions have been recruited and trained to deliver a range of
community activities and events and talk to local residents, community
groups, friends, family and neighbors to help communicate the importance
of early diagnosis.
Over 90 Community Champions are now on board to deliver bowel cancer
information, advice and support to local residents. These Champions
have no clinical training but are trusted voices within the community
who can reach and reassure the target groups. They're involved in events
which include organised talks at places of worship, community centres,
over 50s clubs and other key community contact points. Leaflets, posters
and symptom cards will be delivered to key community venues and to the
homes of the over 50s in the target areas.
