Decision details

The Committee resolved to:

1.    Note the findings of the report; that it evidenced the social, health and economic value generated by the Council’s Community Centre and Meals on Wheels Service (and associated provision) for residents and public sector partners,

2.    Consider how the evidence could be used with partners to support investment and partnership opportunities, aligned to health and care priorities including prevention and healthy ageing. Agreed for report authors to share the report with the West Surrey Health Board, Neighbourhood Steering Group and The Surrey Health and Wellbeing Board and onward transmission to voluntary joint committees to highlight the positive long-term impact of our services,

3.    Approve the request for the authors to develop a mini-series of case studies showcasing the experiences of individuals who access our community services. These will highlight the personal impact of the services and the broader, system wide impacts and cost savings for partner services, to be shared on social media and the Spelthorne Bulletin.
