Would you like to help your local community to be kept up to date with correct information about the coronavirus and how to stay safe? Middlesbrough Council is looking for local volunteers to become COVID Champions and join our COVID Champions Network to help us tackle the pandemic in our town.
COVID Champions will help their family, friends and wider community to make sense of the latest advice, dispel any myths or confusion, and lower our risk of catching the virus.
As a Champion, you will receive regular updates on COVID-19 from the Council – in whichever way you prefer, so you can share the correct information in your own way to keep local people informed.
They also want you to know of any concerns around COVID within your community so we can help to address them and get the right messages out. You’ll be part of a network that gets the latest information, has online meetings to share ideas and receive training.
How do I become a COVID Champion?
Anyone over the age of 18 can become a COVID Champion and the process to join is easy:
Email your interest to covidchampions@middlesbrough.gov.uk or sign up online: www.middlesbrough.gov.uk/covidchampions
