Current Projects - Health Groups Project

The Health Groups Project is a part of the wider Slough Health Action ProgrammE (SHAPE). Shape has been developed by bringing a range of organisations and projects together that recognise the influence of health issues in the community. The main aim of the programme is the prevention of illness and the promotion of healthy lifestyles. The various projects are funded by the New Opportunities Fund and are managed by the Nai Roshni Partnership.

The role of SCVS in the programme is to provide organisational support to new and emerging groups who have a health focus; this could include both preventative aims and/or health promotion. We aim to help groups in some of the following ways:

• Starting a group formal / informal
• Identification of organisational needs
• Funding
• Training
• Help promote groups health purpose
• Forge links in the wider community with other health agencies/projects
