The Health Agency

About

The Health Agency is a community-led charity that supports around 2,000 people in Wester Hailes and South West Edinburgh each year to lead longer, healthier, more fulfilling lives. We do this by providing a range of services that challenge the deep-rooted effects of poverty, ill-healthy, mental health issues, isolation, food insecurity and inequalities on our community by providing information, advice and support to empower people to protect and improve their physical, mental and social wellbeing. Core services include Westerhaven (supporting people affected by cancer and long-term conditions), free mental health counselling and therapy to aid recovery, Positive Moves (exercise and nutritional support for improved health, Tasting Change (affordable food through our pantry and community meals), and weekly groups reducing isolation and building community confidence.
