About
PWA, Slough
In the 2011 Census, the Pakistani community at 24,869 was the largest ethnic minority group in Slough representing 17.74% of the population. A community that has faced many hardships across almost five generations in Slough. It is well documented that a community’s identity is multifaceted. The Pakistani community that has made Slough its home has played an important role in the social, economic, environmental and political life of Slough’s rich fabric. As an organisation, PWA has endured, developed and grown despite reduced funding opportunities and the impact of austerity on both its community and as an organisation. The long-term objectives of PWA are to:
- Improve the spaces and places that matter to communities.
- Bring people together and build strong relationships across all communities.
- Enable more people to fulfil their potential by working to address issues at the earliest possible stage.
- Developing outreach to Slough’s diverse communities to develop cohesion and understanding.
