In an inspiring new partnership, Bunmi Johnson, one of our Regional Managers, and his team of dedicated care professionals in Southwark have teamed up with the London Borough of Southwark to empower the community through the Community Health Ambassadors Network. This initiative, designed to improve local health and wellbeing, aligns with our core values of courage, community, and heart.
As part of this collaboration, care professionals in Southwark will serve as Community Health Ambassadors, providing essential, accurate information on public health issues, vaccines, mental health, and wellbeing to their networks. By acting as trusted sources within their communities, these ambassadors will help to dispel myths, break down barriers to healthcare, and ensure that the experience of local residents are shared.
In support of this initiative, we are opening two of our extra care schemes – Tayo Situ House and Lime Tree House – as spaces for hosting health events and discussions. These spaces will become hubs for engagement, helping our teams build a stronger sense of community and shared responsibility for health and wellbeing in Southwark.
Bunmi commented, “We are proud to be part of a project that embodies our values and makes a tangible difference in the lives of people in Southwark. By partnering with Southwark Council, we are not only supporting our community but also providing our experienced Care Professionals with the opportunity to lead and inspire. This initiative brings us one step closer to our vision of creating the best place to work in care, where compassion and leadership go hand in hand.”
This partnership reflects our unwavering commitment to courageously tackling health challenges, building meaningful connections within the communities we support, and ensures that every action we take is driven by heart. Together, CCH Group and London Borough of Southwark are making a lasting impact on the health and wellbeing of communities in London.
