Community Champion (Waltham Forest London)

Community Champions educate and raise awareness of diabetes and Diabetes UK by organising stalls, talks, presentations and healthy living days at community centres, health fairs and local festivals.

They reach and engage people from ethnic minority groups and other socioeconomically deprived communities.

They explain what Type 2 diabetes is, who is at risk, signs and symptoms, myths and misconceptions, complications, and the NHS services that are available – in a way that is culturally appropriate.

We are looking for people who are passionate to spread the word about diabetes, have strong ties within the local community and are committed to improve the health and wellbeing of the local community.
