Dod yn Hyrwyddwr gydag Amser i Newid Cymru / Become a Champion with Time to Change Wales - Next training date
Published: Fri, 05/20/22
Hello everyone,
As some of you may know, EYST Wales is working in partnership with Time to Change Wales with the aim to end stigma, particularly in ethnic communities. This is where we need your help as we look to recruit 10 Champions from ethnic minority backgrounds who can share their story and open up a conversation.
There is another opportunity coming up on Thursday 23rd June, 9.30am - 3pm to train as a Champion for Time to Change Wales. Our very own Rahila became a Champion in the last round - please read her inspiring story here.
A reminder below on who TtCW are and what they offer below... 😊
Time to Change Wales is the first national campaign to end the stigma and discrimination faced by people with mental health problems. It is a collaborative campaign between two mental health charities: Adferiad Recovery and Mind Cymru. We are funded by the Welsh Government.
Time to Change Wales Champions are volunteers aged 18+ with lived experience of mental ill health - either historically or currently and are at the very heart of our Time to Change Wales Campaign, challenging stigma in their own communities, online, in the media and sharing their story with other people.
Training and support is provided for all Champions in order for them to be able to share their experiences by having the opportunity to deliver anti-stigma talks to businesses and organisations across Wales. Champions can also write for our website, get involved with community projects or help out with events. This opportunity helps develop confidence and skills that have supported Champions in their recovery and careers.
Champion Training Programme:
'Time to Talk' induction day provides potential Champions with an overview of the campaign and how you can get involved. You will get to meet on of our Champions and hear their story too. We provide you with all the resources you may need for being a Champion on this day. You will also receive guidance on writing blogs.
To confirm your place on this training, please email info@timetochangewales.org.uk back with:
- A contact phone number in case of last minute changes

Please note Champions to show photo ID on Day One of training to be verified, before training can begin.
