COMMUNITY CHAMPIONS
Community Champions are local people who want to help neighbours, support local events and initiatives, develop ideas for clubs and groups, understand what our community wants from The Barn and The Green and all of the activities run by Friends of Westdene Green.
Community Champions will help us to consolidate all of that goodwill and help us out of lockdown and into the future as we rebuild and get back to wonderful community life here in Westdene.
If you were involved in the Halloween Trail or Light up Westdene last year, you’ll know about the power of doing things collectively and how it gives hope to people. We think Community Champions will do just that.
​
"What’s in it for me?" we hear you ask
As well as the warm, fuzzy feeling one gets from helping others, we want you to design Community Champions with us to make it work for you. We can provide the training and support you might need. We have seen some amazing events recently, created by you, our neighbours, and we think we can build on this and bring back Community Life with a smile.

We will be running a number of 15 minute introductory sessions online towards the end of April. If you are interested in joining a session or want to find out more, please contact Pete below.

​Respond to needs emerging in your street.
Support can come in many forms, and we each need this at different times. Feeling part of our community is essential for us all, where we can join forces with one another, even within the confines of isolation.
