Become a Bexley Community Champion

During the pandemic, we created a network of Community Champions to help us communicate and engage with local people about the virus and other important issues that affect their wellbeing.

As we return to normal our community champions are encouraged to work with their neighbours, as well as the Council and the Local Care Partnership (NHS) to carry out any activities that are focused on improving the health and well-being of local people, or their immediate environment or bringing their communities closer together.

By joining our Community Champions scheme you will be able to access support for all sorts of activities, from tackling mental health issues and obesity to dealing with litter and having a say on health and care issues that concern you, to organising street parties.

Our Community Champions are serious about making their local areas cleaner, greener and friendlier. They care about the street or estate they live on, and the people they share it with.
