Watford Asian Community Care

Watford Asian Community Care is a non-profit making community based organisation providing health and social care services for Asian people. It develops and provides ethnically and culturally sensitive services to the elderly, the disabled, the socially isolated and their carers.

Watford Asian Community Care works in partnership with Hertfordshire County Council. WACC operates in the boroughs of Watford, Three Rivers and Hertsmere.

WACC actively promotes the views of their members and carers in discussion with Adult Care Services, the Primary Care Trusts and local councils, in order to influence policy and service delivery.
