Community Champion (CSVA)

Momentum Children’s Charity supports families across London, Surrey, and Sussex whose children are facing cancer or a life-challenging condition. We work in partnership with local hospitals to provide tailored support, therapy services, and respite breaks to help families cope during the most difficult times.

As a Community Champion, you will be a passionate advocate for Momentum Children’s Charity in your local area. You’ll raise awareness, inspire others to get involved, and play a vital role in helping us build a growing network of community-led fundraising support.
