As a Wellbeing Champion, you will have a passion for health and wellbeing and take on an active role in enhancing the physical health and mental wellbeing of others.

Your aim will be to help create healthier and happier environments within your workplace or community. You will do this by sharing trusted information on physical and mental health, signposting individuals to relevant support services, and raising awareness of both local and national health promotion campaigns.

Thanks to the positive impact of the programme, we now have a growing network of over 700 Wellbeing Champions across Plymouth, all working together to make our city a healthier place for everyone.

What can you expect from joining?

Having a Wellbeing Champion is essential for any business or community looking to prioritise health and wellbeing.

Training is available both virtually and in-person, and can be tailored to meet the specific needs of your organisation or group. Access to the programme begins with a comprehensive two-day training package, equipping you with the skills and knowledge needed to confidently begin your role.

Upon completion, you’ll receive a Wellbeing Champion Starter Pack and gain access to regular updates on health campaigns, wellbeing resources, and opportunities to take part in networking events and competitions.

In return, we ask that you stay connected with us—meet with us at your business or community, keep us informed of your wellbeing initiatives, take part in networking opportunities, and connect with other like-minded individuals across Plymouth.
