Community health & wellbeing workers – Cambridge Road Estate
Across the country, there is a growing workforce of dedicated community health and wellbeing workers (CHWWs) who are playing a pivotal role in helping people who live in some of the country’s most deprived and under-served communities access vital health and care support.
Complementing other important programmes across local systems, the CHWWs initiative is paying real dividends, helping to improve the lives of many who are sometimes at risk of ‘falling through the cracks’.
CHWWs are embedded in the heart of their communities. Recruited locally, trained, and paid, they provide day-to-day health and social care support to residents in small, defined geographies of around 100-150 households. They serve whole estates, knocking on every door, and building trusting relationships that connect communities to the health and care they need.
Our two CHWW’s will be working on Cambridge Road Estate, Kingston, working with both Kingston and Churchfields, Canbury, Orchard and Berrylands Primary Care Network.
