Tameside recognised early on during the coronavirus pandemic that there are many in our communities who preferred to receive their information from people that they know and trust. It is for this reason that the “Community Champions” scheme was created.

The Tameside Community Champions network is designed to empower our residents and workforces with the information they need to lead the way in their community. By bringing together existing networks and residents’ groups together in one place, we have broken down silos, created a sense of collective spirit, and built a better relationship between the council and our residents.
