Champions!?!
Our Association is a small organisation compared to our big brothers and sister Bloodwise and LeukaemiaCare.
We need your help to provide a more comprehensive support network.
Shortage of specific services for people living with CLL
Both CLL and CLLSA need a higher profile
This is what we mean by Champions

Anyone -
Initially you will need :-
be confident with people
good communication skills,

In order not to overstretch the work of trustees we have decided to promote the role of Profile-Raising Champions first.

6. How to develop these roles in the future
Champions: development
How to develop these roles in the future
Conferences - a great place to recruit and train
Leaflets – a range of booklets produced as guides
feedback on a regular basis
Skype or similar sessions at pre-arranged times
Website – a dedicated page for Champions
On-going development
In the future we foresee Champions taking on the wider roles within our Association.
Social Media is a great way – through the new website, facebook and twitter etc the word is spread
But the face-to-face is pretty much unbeatable in the local area

It’s our hope that eventually every clinic will have a CLL Champion who eventually will help our Association reach every CLL patient.
I hope that over the coming months as we roll out this development through the Conferences, the web and other social media you may feel drawn in to help those in similar situations live better with CLL
Now in your groups you are going to discuss the roles and hopefully some of you will sign up to become profile-raising champions
