Community Champions are leaders and individuals delivering impact at a hyperlocal level — often volunteers, organisers, charity workers or local influencers who support hundreds of people every year. They are embedded in their communities, trusted by residents and driven by a desire to make things better.

Community Threads recruits Champions through its extensive network, assessing community involvement and impact before enrolment. The programme itself was co‑designed by founding Champions, who will act as mentors for future cohorts.
