JSNA Community Voice
Wandsworth is a vibrant, diverse borough with a strong sense of community. It also boasts an active and dedicated Voluntary Sector formed of over 900 organisations, is supported by 42 GP Surgeries, 60 Community Pharmacies and 33 Care Homes. The community has an important role to play in building a picture of health and social care needs for the borough.
This chapter is written through the community’s lens, using both anecdotal and survey-based information and including viewpoints of organisations and individuals to respond to the health needs identified by the community. It sits alongside and complements the Start Well, Live Well and Age Well JSNA chapters providing a community view on the health needs in the borough and the local perception of the gaps in health and social care service
