What is Bletchley Pathfinder?
Bletchley Pathfinder is a multi-agency initiative aimed at improving the ways our health and care services work together.
What have we achieved so far?
- Bletchley Clubs: Funding has been provided to over 30 groups offering activities such as gardening, football, arts and crafts, singing, and specialised sessions like bereavement support.
- Helping families to eat well: Project launched to support local families to eat well. Initiatives include healthy recipe kits from Food Banks at 'Top Up Shops,' school fruit and vegetable stalls, and budget-friendly healthy cooking sessions at Family Centres.
- Monthly Bletchley Get Togethers: A series of wellbeing drop-in sessions held between October 2024 to January 2025. The sessions provided information about support services, volunteering opportunities, health promotion, wellbeing activities, and health checks.
- Employment, training and volunteering event: Held in January 2025, offering guidance on job opportunities, volunteering, training, housing, social care, and health and wellbeing.
- Improving outcomes for children and young people: We are working with schools in Bletchley to have a multi-professional forum to connect children and families more seamlessly with health and community services.
What next?
We are planning to hold further community events during 2025, please see the Pathfinder calendar of events (below) for further details.
