Community health champions and older people: A Review of the Evidence

The aim of this evidence review is to capture the impact that community health champion work, and that of those in similar roles, has for older people. This includes older people who become community health champions and older people in communities (programme beneficiaries) who are supported by community health champions. The evidence for older people working in lay public health roles presented in this report is derived from three primary sources: *A rapid review of the evidence in relation to older people and lay public health roles; *A summary of key themes emerging from the data collected with older people during a thematic evaluation of community health champions in Yorkshire and Humberside produced for Altogether Better; *Analysis and synthesis of monitoring and evaluation data produced by Altogether Better’s older people’s projects.
