We all have a part to play in keeping ourselves and each other safe and protected from Covid-19 at the moment, and a newly launched initiative makes it easier to do just that.
Derbyshire Voluntary Action is urging local people to step forward as ‘Community Champions.’
We are asking individuals, voluntary and community groups and organisations, businesses – in fact any community spirited person from any walk of life – to come forward to be a Community Champion and to share positive messages about how to stay safe and protected from the virus.”
Community Champions receive the latest information, updates and advice about Covid-19 through Derbyshire Voluntary Action’s regular e-bulletins and social media channels. They undertake to share the information with other people in their community in whatever ways they want – in conversations, on social media, or in any other way of their choosing. They are also encouraged to keep in touch to let Derbyshire Voluntary Action know what is and isn’t working in their community so there can be a collective approach to responding to the virus in the way that will work best in Chesterfield and North East Derbyshire.
Let us know what is and isn’t working in your community so we can make sure we respond together in the way that will work best in Chesterfield and North East Derbyshire. You can call us on 01246 555908, email response@dva.org.uk or click here to contact us online. We send feedback and a list of community questions to our partners at Public Health every Monday.
