It was an event where participants explored the KNOW-PH synthesised work and discuss key aspects involved in generating community champions. The KNOW-PH team reviewed the information collected from the evidence base along with key areas of discussion from the event to produce the resource. 8/9

Together the KNOW-PH team and HCC collaborated to focus on how to create cleaner air community champions. The KNOW-PH team considered the existing published evidence base while HCC brought together local authorities across the East of England region.
7/9

Despite the health burden there is still a lack of awareness in the public domain or any national co-ordinated public health cleaner air campaigning available to provide trusted information on the health impacts of short and long term air pollution.
6/9

The Royal College of Physicians 2025 report, 'A breathe of fresh air', estimated that around 30,000 deaths per year in the UK are as a result of air pollution. Alongside this, an economic cost of £27bn in the UK due to healthcare costs, productivity losses, reduced quality of life.
5/9

Air pollution can impact human health, the economy, and the environment. In many instances air quality has been improving in recent years, however poor air quality is still the largest environmental risk to public health in the UK.
4/9

Together, we made sense of the evidence and local knowledge to create a pathway to Clean Air community champions. Our own @lizzysuch.bsky.social worked with Clean Air Champion Matthew Clark from HCC and you can discover the actions and evidence from the workshop found via our mini interactive.
3/9

We brought in evidence on models, roles and the value of champions from @nihr.bsky.social studies; Hertfordshire brought together a network of interested people including charities, elected members and local officials.
2/9

We recently collaborated with @hertscc.bsky.social to explore how community champion roles (in this case, Clean Air Champions) could make a difference to and improve the lives of local residents.
