Commissioning Community Champions: Lessons from a pandemic
A new report from The King’s Fund explores the development of community champions programmes during the Covid-19 pandemic. The research sought to describe the scale and diversity of programmes and associated learning, with the opportunity to inform the parameters of any future evaluation.
