Partnerships For Wellbeing - Caring and Supporting
We have been supporting happy, healthy lifestyles since the organisation started in 2004 through our health walk project and community transport service.
We seek to enable people from the communities they live in, to make a difference to community life 'where they are'. We will continue to support this founding vision in any way that we can. That is the reason why all of our work is delivered by volunteers recruited from local communities.
In the beginning there were only a few volunteers delivering some of our services, but today this has grown to 150! This includes seven fantastic volunteers who currently make up our Board of Trustees. Over time our volunteers have made a massive contribution to the health and wellbeing of people in Inverness through our transport service and even more widely through the extensive network of health walks that we run.
Our work has been supported over the years by many partners and other stakeholders, after all, partnership is very important to us - we have always had a small staff team - this is also true today with our five part-time staff team members based near the River Ness in Inverness.
Our two main services are our Health Walk Project led by our Health Walks & Events Manager Jayne Preece and our Community Transport led by our long-serving Transport Manager Fiona MacInnes.
We also see our work with volunteers as an additional service - especially when we see all of the amazing benefits that volunteering has for individuals and their communities - why not join us a volunteer? You really could make a massive difference and be part of Partnerships for Wellbeing’s work as we continue to grow.
