Maidenhead & Windsor

Older Windsor and Maidenhead residents and adults with disabilities are reminded that they can find out about the wide range of services available to them in a guide produced by the Royal Borough.

The Healthier Living & Well Being Guide for Older People and Adults with Disabilities is a quick reference guide providing information on topics including adult social care, finance, health, voluntary organisations and support groups. It also includes details of services such as education, employment, heating, health care, carers, housing, leisure and transport.

Cllr John Story, lead member for Windsor and Maidenhead adult services, said: "Winter can be a difficult time for vulnerable adults struggling to stay warm, pay heating bills, keep nourished or get about.

"While there are many services available to help older people and adults with disabilities, the width and complexity of the range means it is often difficult to know what is available. This easily accessible guide is useful to anyone wanting to find out about services concerning their well-being and health."

The guide was written in conjunction with Berkshire East Primary Care Trust and local voluntary agencies, and supported by the Tick Tock Project, a European-funded Equal project supported by the Learning & Skills Council Berkshire.

The guide can be found online at www.rbwm.gov.uk/web/social_publications_adult-services.htm or by emailing access.services@rbwm.gov.uk. Copies are also available at York House, Sheet Street, Windsor and at the Town Hall reception, St Ives Road, Maidenhead, or by calling 01628 683744.
