We are Healthy n Happy, an award-winning charity and community owned organisation governed by local people in Cambuslang and Rutherglen (CamGlen). We aim to tackle disadvantage and improve lives and communities so they are thriving, resilient and healthy. We work with people of all ages however we focus on helping those in challenging circumstances. The communities we support are in the 5-20% most deprived in Scotland and are affected by issues such as unemployment, poverty, alcohol and substance misuse, health inequalities and lower life expectancy.
We believe wellbeing is more than good health – it’s about feeling good and functioning well. We do this by caring, listening and providing purposeful and engaging opportunities based on the 5 Ways to Well-being (Connecting, Being Active, Taking Notice, Learning and Giving). We support local people to:
• Build Personal Connections and Relationships
• Get active, outdoors and green
• Enjoy the benefits of local culture, arts and radio
• Engage in lifelong learning and skill building
• Lead and participate as influential citizens
Which means they:
• Are more connected and involved
• Have the skills, resources and confidence to achieve their goals and aspirations
• Have fun, be creative and learn together
• Have opportunities and places that help them thrive, be resilient and healthy
• Are actively involved, taking a lead and using their influence as citizens
• Build and shape vibrant neighbourhoods to live, work and play
