Company Description
Surrey Wellbeing Partnership (SWP) is a formal joint venture of local and national charities working together to improve wellbeing and the mental health of children and young people across Surrey.
The partnership provides early intervention, prevention, and strengths-based support and we are proud to be a part of a wide alliance delivering mental health support with the NHS under an alliance called Mindworks.
The Independent Chair role is a volunteer role providing strategic leadership and impartial governance across the Surrey Wellbeing Partnership, and it has arisen following the retirement of our current chair. It also comes about at an exciting time as we move into a significant contract extension and having rolled out a digital reporting system. We are also about to publish the results of an independent evaluation of services, showing the huge impact SWP is having on the lives of our service users.
