Slough CVS recently collaborated with Frimley NHS to host an informative session aimed at strengthening support for local communities.

The event brought together a series of insightful presentations, offering a deeper understanding of the current landscape of community health and the importance of collaborative efforts in addressing emerging needs.

Frimley NHS kicked off the session with an overview of their ongoing initiatives and the evolving ways services are adapting to better meet community demands. The team from The Britwell Hub followed with a presentation on their neighbourhood hub model, showcasing how strong partnerships and accessible services can drive meaningful change for local residents. Slough Public Health also contributed by presenting key local health data, offering a clear picture of the factors shaping community wellbeing, and outlining how this information can guide targeted, effective support.
