Many thanks to Catherine Jowitt, Charity and Volunteer Lead at Bradford District Care NHS Foundation Trust, for sharing this booklet (see attachment) that showcases the success of the Champions Show The Way programme.

This programme sees volunteers supporting patients with long-term conditions by taking them on a walk and providing them a safe environment to make friends with other patients.

This service is now known as Well Together and provides a range of interesting, sociable, health-led activities delivered by dedicated activity volunteers and is for adults aged 18 or over.

The activities are free and run across Bradford, Airedale, Wharfedale and Craven, in wheelchair-accessible venues. There are many more groups now available, including crafting, peer support and walking.

The latest information on the service can be found on the Bradford District Care NHS Foundation Trust here
