The Community Champions project team at Voluntary Action Leeds (VAL) are pleased to announce a new project team member, Adetunji Olabiyi.  Adetunji currently works within the Training team at VAL and takes on this additional responsibility to work on the successful Community Champions project.

Adetunji started his VAL experience as a volunteer with VAL’s Admin team.  He joined the project at an exciting time when the project has received further funding.  Community Champions focus will be on increasing awareness and understanding of NHS vaccination programmes across a lifetime (to include maternal, child and adolescent, adult and seasonal vaccination programmes). Working closely with NHS, ICB, Public Health and local third sector organisations to support at events and will be an integral part of the Leeds Health Improvement Plan to support with the system wide approach to improve vaccination uptake, providing insight from communities which experience the highest health inequalities.

If you would like to learn more about this new initiative, or would like to join the Community Champions simply contact Adetunji.  You can contact him via email at Adetunji.olabiyi@val.org.uk or apply here – https://uk.becollective.com/share/opportunities/614896af7d1a9590f36a2836
