Some places are still available for representatives direct from the community to join representatives from the local voluntary sector at the Waltham Forest Adults Wellbeing Forum.
The Forum acts as a consultative body for Waltham Forest Council and its statutory partners for services and facilities for adults from all sections of our diverse community, as well as looking at how we can work together to improve our community’s wellbeing, health and social care.
This is an important development in empowering citizens to shape the local community. We are looking for Waltham Forest residents aged 18 – 108 who are passionate about improving the wellbeing of adults in the borough.
More information and an application pack is available from Arlene on 020 8558 5512 or email a.williams@ageconcernwf.o rg.uk.
