WILTSHIRE Council is holding a community meeting in Malmesbury for residents to discuss adult social care services provided by the council.

Organisers are particularly interested to hear from people who use adult care services in Wiltshire, carers and people/ organisations involved in supporting people with their general wellbeing or social care needs.

A spokesman for Wiltshire Council said: “Protecting the most vulnerable people in our communities is one of Wiltshire Council’s key priorities.

“Adult social care in Wiltshire is going through significant changes to be able to meet rising demand now and in the future and we want to talk to people living here about those changes.

“We want our county’s adult care to be the best in the country, supporting independent lives in thriving and resilient communities.

“We believe there are opportunities for local communitiesto be more involved in supporting people locally, for example by addressing social isolation and loneliness so people feel a part of their community.

“We also think the way we provide adult social care can be improved and we want to share with you what we are proposing to do and why.”

  • The meeting takes place on Wednesday, August 16 from 7pm at the Riverside Community Centre. For more information contact ollie.phipps@ wiltshire.gov.uk
