Wokingham

The second Have a Safe Christmas event being organised by Wokingham Borough Council and its partners will take place at the Bradbury Centre in Rose Street, Wokingham from 10am to midday on Tuesday December 8.

The Wokingham event will offer residents the chance to meet representatives from the emergency services, trading standards, the borough council’s community safety team and others involved in all aspects of keeping people safe. It follows a similar event that was held at the Oakwood Centre, Headley Road, Woodley on Monday November 30.

The Wokingham events have been organised with the help of the Take Notice Group, which is a self-advocacy group of people with learning disabilities that champions the interests of people with learning disabilities and ensures they are involved in planning services. Organisations that will be at the event include: Age Concern Berkshire, the council’s drug and alcohol action team, Wokingham Black and Minority Ethnic Forum, Wokingham Pub Watch, the council’s falls advisory team and the emergency services. At the event in Wokingham on December 8, there will also be a chance to find out more about the Putting People First programme that is changing the way adult social care is provided in the Wokingham Borough to give people more control over their care.
