A New Chapter for Healthwatch Hammersmith and Fulham

News - 1 September 2025

From 1 September 2025, a new partnership is responsible for Healthwatch Hammersmith and Fulham This partnership brings together the deep local knowledge and community connections of Sobus, W12 Together and the Healthwatch delivery expertise of Local Voice.

We recognise and value the great work that has been achieved to date. We also acknowledge that these are uncertain times, with the national Healthwatch programme due to come to an end. Despite this, our commitment remains firm: we believe wholeheartedly in the importance of local people having a voice in how health and care services are designed and delivered, and in maintaining an independent way for residents to raise concerns and influence change.

Most importantly, we want to thank our volunteers, community representatives, and local residents for everything you continue to do to shape and strengthen Healthwatch Hammersmith and Fulham. Your voices, experiences, and insights are at the heart of this work, and we look forward to building on this together in the months ahead.

If you would like to share your experiences, raise a concern, or get involved as a volunteer, we’d love to hear from you. Please contact us.

Healthwatch Hammersmith and Fulham will continue to work towards those purposes, ensuring the community’s voice is heard and acted upon. We are excited about this new chapter and look forward to working with you.
