HEALTH ALL ROUND
Przyjaciel w Potrzebie - Friends in Need
anna
Health All Round recognizes how daunting it can be to come along to social activities when you don't know anyone and you are still struggling to communicate in English - or perhaps your English is pretty good but you are feeling low in mood, anxious and lacking in confidence.
If your first language is Polish or Ukrainian - Our Friends in Need Development Worker and her volunteers can help you to access Health All Round services, and get the most from them while you are there. So please, even if you have very little English, contact us and we will do our very best to make our services as welcoming and supportive as they can possibly be. We can also signpost you to other local services for health and well being and advise you of agencies to support you with financial issues or crisis support.
What we offer:
Friends in Need - On The Town
Come and join our new, monthly group for Polish and Ukrainian People, exploring Edinburgh. It is a wonderful way to get more active and make new friends.

Good Morning Gorgie
This popular social group includes a broad range of activities including: Gentle Exercise; Singing; New Age Kurling; Art Workshops; Seated Swing Dance; Reminiscence; Story telling; quizzes...
There is no pressure to join in activities, you can just sit and chat if you prefer – there is always someone to chat to! A light nutritious lunch is served, with good bread and home made soup which (in spring and summer) includes vegetables from the Health All Round allotments. We take care to ensure that specific dietary requirements are catered for so if someone cannot have a particular food then they can still join in the lunch.
We are sure you will be cheered and energised by this light hearted and friendly group, but if there are problematic issues in your life, staff and volunteers are available for support and information on additional services to meet your needs.
