‍ The City Belonging Champion will:

• Be appointed by your workplace to act as the primary point of contact between your organisation and City Belonging Project.

• Share City Belonging Project opportunities at your workplace through internal channels, including with staff networks and senior leaders.

• Explore potential collaborations on events, which could include hosting, co-creating, partnering or opening up suitable internal events to other City Belonging Project participants.

• Champion awareness of City Belonging Networks – which serve particular communities and interests - and actively encourage participation through internal staff networks and relevant workplace channels, helping to extend cross-sector connections.

• Provide insight on the activities, interests and priorities of your colleagues, including through surveys and consultations, so we can better understand and serve the needs of the Square Mile workforce.

• Facilitate engagement with relevant City of London Corporation programmes, including in areas such as Young Talent, Community Safety, Public Health and Climate Action.

• Nominate colleagues, including senior leaders, to attend flagship City of London community and civic events.

• Champion connection, particularly for new starters, to the City’s unique cultural, heritage and civic life , complementing existing workplace induction and engagement activity.

For larger organisations, the Champion may be supported by a small network of internal “Satellite Champions” drawn from existing engagement or staff network structures.

Satellite Champions help extend awareness and participation through existing networks, while maintaining a single external point of contact with the City Belonging Project.
