Wellbeing Work

Sustaining and developing the wellbeing of people is at the core of the work of FAHLC. In order for this to happen people need to have a sense and experience of wellbeing in their physical, emotional and some would say spiritual selves. In addition it is clear that attending to one area (e.g. self esteem) will support and boost another (e.g. healthy eating).

Healthy Connections and Healthy Activities

Healthy Connections is a new Lottery funded project for people aged 18+ living in South Ward, Weston-super-Mare.

Perhaps you've been feeling anxious, stressed, low, or isolated?

Maybe you'd like to have more social contact and support within your community, or join in with local activities?

Through the Healthy Connections project, you will have support from a Wellbeing Worker to help you explore your situation, focus on your health and wellbeing goals and what matters to you. You'll also be able to develop an Action Plan to help you achieve your health and wellbeing goals. Download a copy of the Healthy Connections leaflet (PDF, 440kb) or contact Kim Lane, Wellbeing Worker on 01934 427528.

Community Connections

Community Connections is a free and confidential social prescribing service that can help improve your health and wellbeing for anyone aged 18yrs or above living in the South Ward area.

We know that it can be difficult for some people to access their local community, join social activities, meet people or know where to get help and advice.

This may be due to feeling lonely, being new to the area, experiencing low confidence or mood, changes in personal circumstances as well as physical and emotional difficulties.

If you would like further information, please take a look at our leaflet (PDF, 2mb) or contact 07936 843 873.
