The county’s WISH service, run by Herefordshire Council is changing, and an improved website has been designed to enable residents to live safe, healthy and independent lives. However, the drop in hub based at Hereford Library will close on Wednesday, March 28th as the Council focuses resources on the website.

The website covers information, advice, services and activities for residents of all ages across the county, which helps people to take control of their own wellbeing needs and better connects them to their local communities. It also enables providers to promote their services to Herefordshire’s residents, so people are fully informed about what is available to meet their needs.

The website has some great new features, including a new design which makes it easier to navigate, an improved search function, more up to date and relevant information, and a handy what’s on calendar and news section.

Councillor Paul Rone, Cabinet member for health and wellbeing, said: “The WISH website is a fantastic local resource, which is free and easy to access. The website doesn’t just focus on health related topics, it covers so much more, including housing, carers support, transport, legal and financial advice, bereavement support and home adaptations.”
