The #OneSlough Community Wellbeing Champions Project ended at the end of July. The Champions approached the people of Slough and explained the benefits of being fully vaccinated. The project, which started in March involved mobile vaccination centres (vaccine buses) in local High Streets, Mosques, Churches and Gurdwara’s to name but a few places. One was even spotted in an ASDA Carpark. The Champions went outdoors door knocking to explain the benefits of the vaccination programme. The aim being to get as many people vaccinated who would otherwise miss out whether it be due to lack of knowledge or from misinformation about the safety of the vaccine.

Slough CVS threw an end of project celebration in front of the vaccination centre in Salt Hill Park last Sunday with over 100 people attending. Today marks the Vaccination Centre closing its doors on this chapter of the vaccination programme.

Everybody who took part in the project was invited to the party which included live music, and games and a big spread of food, with much given to Slough Outreach for their clients. The Mayor and Mayoress attended with the Mayor cutting a big ‘Thank You’ cake. Staff working the last days at the vaccination centre popped over for some food and entertainment and children played chess and Jenga.

There were some great group shots taken in a photo booth complete with props and costume hats!
