Community First provides a range of services aimed at supporting community health and wellbeing within rural Wiltshire and Swindon. We do this by offering services that promote healthy lifestyles by supporting individuals to live independently, therefore having a positive impact of people’s health and wellbeing.

At Community First we recognise health and wellbeing as something that enables us to feel as fit and well as possible to cope with the stresses and strains of everyday life.  We see social, emotional and physical wellbeing as not just about being ‘medically fit’ but about feeling good about ourselves and our communities. Living within a rural location can often mean there is limited access to community health and wellbeing services. The range of resources Community First offers plays a key role in supporting people to continue to live independently in their rural communities.

Community First continues to explore new ways to tackle disadvantage, reduce isolation and improve accessibility to health and wellbeing activities and services. Signposting and working in partnership play an important role in achieving this as does being led by the needs of communities and the people that live in them.
