Health and Wellbeing project in Maidenhead

/in /by

We are running a community engagement pilot project in Maidenhead, with the objective of developing up to 45 older people (50+) from the wider community as “Community Health & Wellbeing Ambassadors” who will promote and share the benefits of healthy eating, regular physical activity and celebrating our culture amongst the wider community. This project is funded through Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead. We have weekly sessions of activities to focus on health, bringing people together to reduce social isolation, build confidence and support mental wellbeing. This project involves providing culturally appropriate opportunities for participants to be active and exercise.

Space Project

/in /by

This project is funded by SPACE through Slough Council for Voluntary Services. The project is aimed for different sections of community including vulnerable adults, people who are 50 yrs and above, Carers, people suffering from social isolation, lone parents, new arrivals and people with poor health and wellbeing.

Minority ethnic older people in the borough need more accessible, local and affordable daytime opportunities for social integration to address problems of isolation. Our project specifically targets this client group and provides activities to promote healthy social engagement, opportunities to make new friends and connections and improved health through increased participation in health and fitness activities.

We are aiming to reach over 350 people through this project addressing social isolation, Wellbeing and health, Volunteering opportunities and increased community engagement.
