Wellbeing Champion Training

Are you interested in talking to older people about wellbeing?

Would you like to volunteer with older people? Or do you work with older people?

The training is aimed at developing local Wellbeing Champions who will have a conversation about wellbeing using the Salford Together My Wellbeing Plan. The training has been developed for Salford Together and is delivered by Salford CVS and Inspiring Communities Together.

Salford Together is an alliance between Salford City Council, Salford Royal NHS Foundation Trust, Salford Clinical Commissioning Group, and Greater Manchester West Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust. The alliance has developed an Integrated Care Programme for Older People in Salford.

My Wellbeing Plan was created with the help of local older people and is designed to help people think about their wellbeing and to incorporate more wellbeing-promoting activities into their lives. My Wellbeing Plan supports wellbeing conversations and is used in local neighbourhoods in a variety of settings to support older people to stay healthy and well. The plan is based on the Five Ways to Wellbeing which are a set of evidence-based actions which promote wellbeing:

• Connect
• Be Active
• Take Notice
• Keep Learning
• Give
