Wellness on Wheels
The Wellness on Wheels bus has been developed in partnership with Norfolk Integrated Care System and Voluntary Norfolk. The bus began its journey as the SOS bus back in October 2021, supporting the COVID-19 vaccination of our homeless community across Norfolk and Waveney. It was hugely successful and well received across local communities. The SOS bus has now evolved into WOW bus, with a particular focus on wellness.
This service focuses specifically on reaching out into those communities who do not access health and care in more traditional ways. We deliver a range of health, support and wellbeing services across Norfolk and Waveney to areas of higher deprivation within communities, and to inclusion health groups – such as those experiencing homelessness.
Covid-19 vaccinations continue to be delivered by the WoW bus. Deprived and inclusion health communities may face struggles to access these, so the WoW bus helps to bring this service out to the local population.
