Community Connectors are people who link others in their local community with activities and organisations that can help improve their quality of life.
The programme is designed to enable people who already are involved in volunteering in the community to take part and develop a new skill to complement what they do already.
The programme is about very localised work; therefore, the focus is on currently on eight wards in Lambeth covering all three Local Care Networks (LCNs).
Vassall and Coldharbour wards in the South East LCN
Ferndale, Larkhall and Stockwell wards in the North LCN
St Leonards, Streatham Hill and Streatham Wells in the South West LCN
People from any part of Lambeth can apply with priority given to people from the Project Smith wards
How to get involved
Community Connectors are given training and support to give them the skills needed to be able to talk to people about wellbeing, the things that they can do for themselves, and places to go to access help and support doing this.
To become a Community Connector, you will need to attend all four days training, so please take this into consideration in terms of your availability when you submit your application.
The training sessions are from 9.30am – 3pm, and it takes place at a range of locations in the borough.
Community Connectors and the Lambeth Wellbeing Fund are part of Project Smith, a wellbeing and health project funded by NHS Lambeth CCG and Lambeth Council.
