Keeping High Wycombe residents informed about COVID-19

High Wycombe Community Board is holding its next COVID-19 briefing on Friday 18 December from 3pm to 4pm.

Members of the community are invited to listen in and hear an update on the number of COVID cases in the High Wycombe area from Dan Flecknoe, Buckinghamshire Council’s  Public Health Consultant. Emma Denley, the Council’s Localism Manager, will be updating the Board on the Helping Hand scheme and local support hubs which are aimed at supporting our vulnerable residents during the winter period.

Invites to the Board meeting have been sent to the High Wycombe Community Board mailing list, a list of contacts of High Wycombe based Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) Groups, Faith Groups, Community Groups and Churches in the area. Everyone invited has been encouraged to share the invite with their own networks to reach as wide a range of attendees as possible, including residents.

Chairman of the High Wycombe Community Board (HWCB), Cllr Arif Hussain, added: “The purpose of the Community Boards is to engage with local people about local issues and this particular meeting is to highlight the impact of COVID-19 on our communities and what we all need to do to look after one another.

In addition, HWCB, together with the Council, is working with local charities and organisations to put in place a structure which will help our most vulnerable residents during the COVID pandemic and after.”
