Why we need County Durham Together Community Champions
As a champion, you'll be able to share the latest public health information with your friends, family or people you know. This could be in a conversation, through Facebook or WhatsApp groups, Zoom calls or any way that suits you.
You don't need to belong to any clubs or groups or have children in school to be a champion - if you're in touch with your friends, family, people in your community or workplace we would like your help.
