Nisa wants to hear from the communities of Reading and in particular, those residents who aren’t accessing our information and services around COVID-19, where for example residents don’t speak English as their first language. How best can we help you, reach you and communicate important health and wellbeing information?
Nisa is our COVID-19 Communication, Engagement and Outreach Officer, if someone you know could benefit please get in touch and let Nisa know how we can help, email unis.nisa@reading.gov.uk or call 07815 9790 354.
