Welcome from B Healthy Together
Welcome! It is my privilege to introduce you to B Healthy Together. We are a community-led health project in South West Edinburgh. Our aim is to improve health and well-being within the communities by providing a variety of social health activities. In particular, we focus on how health is affected by everyday life and is as much about the quality of an individuals emotional and social situation as about their experience of disease or disability.
We provide a range of free services including cookery classes and community meals, physical activities such as exercise classes and a walking group, creative groups such as a knitting club and a gardening group and other health related activities throughout the year. We aim to increase confidence and skills, reduce social isolation and empower our community to take steps that positively impact their health and wellbeing.
Local people are central to the planning and delivery of all our services; we are rooted within our community. We provide a range of volunteering opportunities and could not operate without the invaluable support of these volunteers.
We work in close partnership with many local organisations to address gaps in health improvement activities and collectively impact on the wider health inequality agenda.
We are seeking to recruit high-calibre people to join our Board of Trustees, including to the role of Chairperson. This is an exciting time to join the organisation and Board as we embark on reflecting on our achievements, as well as identify opportunities to refine our direction. Specifically, we are in the process of trying to diversify our funding streams and work towards developing a new Action Plan to help guide our work and realise our aims.
Dr Christopher McCormack, Chairperson
