Who we are

We involve local people in all that we do

We are able to provide a wide range of services because we involve local people in all that we do – through volunteering, through consultation and by working together to meet the whole community's needs.

Using a community development approach we provide services focusing on physical, social and emotional wellbeing and aim to build social capital and reduce inequalities within the city of Edinburgh.

Since our establishment in 1989 our evaluation, including before and after scores, has demonstrated the effectiveness of our services in helping people to feel and live better.

In their own words

"My life feels like it is back on the path"

It's been life changing. I've had counselling from four different services and it didn't help. CBT has been challenging but I've felt the benefit immensely.

Heads Up participant

My life has changed hugely since joining Health All Round. My life feels like it is back on the path. I was side tracked from it and I have gained my self worth and confidence again. I would never have thought my life would be so good a year ago.

Volunteer receptionist

After just one session the pain in my shoulder was gone and I felt more relaxed than I have done in years.

Volunteer with us

Volunteers are the lifeblood of the organisation

Volunteering has also been linked to health benefits for the volunteers themselves. So it's genuinely a win win situation!
