Four programmes. One purpose: people getting the care they need.

Programme 01

Women's Health Companion

A one-to-one advocacy service for women navigating perimenopause, menopause, and related diagnoses that remain poorly handled in general practice. Trained advocates help with appointment preparation, follow-up questions, second-opinion routes, and referrals into specialist services available through NHS Scotland. We do not provide clinical advice — we make sure the clinical advice that exists actually reaches the woman it's meant for.

Delivered across the Lothians and Fife · Currently free at the point of access

Programme 02

Family Health Navigators

Many families end up bouncing between GP, health visitor, dentistry, mental-health services, and benefits agencies — each with its own forms, eligibility rules, and waiting lists. Our Family Health Navigators help parents map the route, write the letters, and chase the referrals that have stalled. We work alongside health visitors and family-support workers, never duplicating their roles.

Delivered in partnership with community family hubs · By referral or self-referral

Programme 03

Plain-Language Health Library

Our growing library of plain-language health guides translates NHS Scotland clinical guidance and Health Improvement Scotland material into language that's readable at GCSE level. Every guide is reviewed by a registered clinician and tested with members of the community it's written for before publication. Guides are free to download, free to print, and shared under a Creative Commons licence so partner organisations can adapt them.

Free online + printed copies distributed via community partners

Programme 04

Community Wellness Circles

Small, peer-led groups that meet in community centres, libraries, and church halls across central Scotland. Topics are set by the participants themselves — anything from chronic-pain management to navigating a recent dementia diagnosis in the family. We provide a facilitation guide, a small honorarium for the local lead, and a route in to professional support when one is needed. The circles run for as long as the community wants them.

Currently running in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Fife, and the Scottish Borders
