Health and wellbeing research in Charlbury – have your say!
There is currently an opportunity to give your views to service-providers on what helps people living in rural areas keep healthy and well and what makes this difficult. Charlbury is one of 14 rural communities selected by the Oxfordshire County Council to help them learn more about the needs of rural communities and to plan services which support the good health and wellbeing of local residents.
Two local charities – Community First Oxfordshire and Healthwatch Oxfordshire – will be running an online and paper survey until 1 April 2026 and will also be holding a representative focus group of local residents in each community including one in Charlbury.
There is an information sheet giving further details on ATIC’s page in the Community section (Charities and World) of this website here: https://www.charlbury.info/community/98
The survey can be filled in online by using this link: https://www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/rurallivingpublic/ or by scanning the QR code at the end of the ATIC information sheet and shown in flyers available in key outlets in the town, including Cornerstone in the Corner House..
If you do not have access to the internet or do not have a smartphone, you can obtain a paper copy of the questionnaire by contacting Healthwatch on 01865 520520. Healthwatch is also offering to enable people to fill in the survey on the phone (number as above). Copies can also be provided in large print or alternative formats or languages. Healthwatch’s email address is hello@healthwatchoxfordshire.co.uk.
If you do not live in Charlbury itself but have a connection to or live close to the town, you can still complete the survey and give your postcode to show where you live. The views of people living in rural communities which are smaller than Charlbury will also be valuable.
Please pass on this information to anyone you know who is not online and is not likely to see this here.
