A community workshop in Slough on Tuesday, 7 July will give residents and local organisations the chance to help shape the action plan for the borough’s recently adopted Slough Joint Local Health and Wellbeing Strategy 2026-2036. The session, hosted by Slough Borough Council, runs from 9:00am to 12:00pm in the Council Chambers at Observatory House, 25 Windsor Road.
The strategy was launched on 28 April to address longstanding health inequalities under three pillars: People at the Centre, Prevention, and Growing Our Health & Wellbeing System with Slough in Mind. Organisers from Slough CVS & WAM Get Involved Training & Events will focus the workshop on reviewing priorities for the first three years, agreeing how partners can work together, and building a shared, inclusive action plan. Cllr Dexter Smith, chair of the Health and Wellbeing Board, said when the strategy launched that “Slough requires a 10-year health and wellbeing strategy, as longstanding poor health outcomes will need sustained, coordinated action to be adequately addressed.”
The plan targets four focus areas – Start Well, Live Well, Age Well, and Healthy Place – and draws on evidence from the Joint Strategic Needs Assessment. Slough CVS, a 90-year-old charity, provides training and funding information to the voluntary sector across Slough and the Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead. The workshop is aimed at partners from health, care, education, business, and community groups.
