COMMUNITY SERVICES
WORKING IN PARTNERSHIP WITH OUR COMMUNITY TO DELIVER QUALITY SERVICES

From community food, to activities and events, to advice and wellbeing, our dedicated community team offers opportunities to meet, socialise and get the help and support you might need.
Our Community Development and Events team offer support to help create strong, healthy and inclusive communities across the parish. This includes the community grants, events and support to community groups, charities and Resident Associations to help do more for local people, wherever in Woughton they live, work or play.
Advice and Wellbeing
The Advice Service offers first level advice and support covering a range of issues. Our officers aim to support residents to access specialist services and achieve their required outcomes.
The Wellbeing Service offers support to those experiencing difficulties with their emotional wellbeing or negative mental health. Support varies from one-to-one appointments, group sesisons and signposting to specialist services.
Adult Advice Directory
Our Advice, Wellbeing and Community officers are vastly experienced, knowledgeable and well connected. Together they offer Advice, Support and projects that meet many of our resident's needs.
We work in partnership and have clear referal and signposting pathways to specialist services.
Our Advice Directory also provides information and links to our trusted partners, enabling you to make direct contact with useful organisations.
Projects
The Community teams offer opportunities, projects and sessions to enable residents to access support, participate in activities they enjoy, to meet up with friends and neighbours, connect with others or to practice, share, explore and develop new skills.
Our Community services are developed based on the needs and priorities of our residents, please speak to our officers and your councillors, so we can continue to be led by you.
Woughton's Health & Wellbeing Centre
Situated at No99 Jonathans, Coffee Hall, the centre is open to all Woughton residents.
With a mix of Woughton, partnership and volunteer led services the centre will bring services onto the parish. Making Health & Wellbeing services more accessible for residents.
As a new purposely designed building, we have worked hard to make it a welcoming, warm and safe space.
We hope you will take the opportunity to visit, have a cuppa, chat to the team and make use of all the great stuff we are looking to offer here.
