The priorities and challenges facing us all today commit health partners to outcomes that require us to continue to develop and innovate in how we engage, collectively with communities across London.
Together, the London Association of Directors of Public Health (ADPH London), Office of Health Improvement and Disparities London (OHID), UK Health Security Agency London (UKHSA), Greater London Assembly (GLA) and London Councils sponsored the Community Champions Development Programme bringing together colleagues from across London Councils and the NHS who were involved in coordinating direct engagement with residents around health.
The programme included bi-monthly action learning sets, input from experts on areas of practice, quarterly listening programmes from our health systems partnership, investment in how to monitor and evidence the impact of these types of programmes and more. It built on lessons from the pan-London COVID-19 Champions Coordinators programme which ran from March 2021 – April 2022.

As part of the learning from London COVID-19 Champions Co-ordinators programme, the London Programme commissioned an external provider to document and celebrate what happened within each London borough and provide insights and resources for the development of community champions programmes moving forward.
The document, Transformations in Community Collaboration: Lessons from COVID-19 champions programmes across London, is a compendium of case studies of champions programmes that took place across London during the COVID-19 pandemic.
