Become a community influencer - help improve the health and wellbeing of your community!

Healthwatch Waltham Forest
  • listens to what local people think of health and social care services and shares their views with the people who have the power to make services better.
  • helps local people to find the health and care services and support they need.
  • runs, co-ordinates and supports events, projects and activities to build strong networks with the local community and health and care providers. 
We aim to be run by, and reflect, local people and the local community. In order to be able to do that we need your help.

We are looking for local people who can give feedback on the health and care services they use, act as a voice to talk about community views on services and who can come up with suggestions of how the health and wellbeing of the community could be improved.

We need a really wide range of residents to make sure everybody’s views are heard. We don’t expect that you will want to get involved in everything we do so we’ve put together a series of questions to understand more about you, what you’re interested in and how you’d like to get involved. We’re not trying to be nosey and you can skip questions if you don’t want to answer them.
