The Community Link Worker programme is funded by the Scottish
Government and runs in partnership with NHS Lothian, EVOC and
South West Edinburgh GP services to support the uptake of local
resources for health and well being.
Health All Round has three Community Link Workers who work with
Sighthill, Whinpark, Springwell and Murrayfield Medical Centres.
Clients are referred to Link Workers by their GP and are then
supported to access and attend Health All Round or other similar
services within Edinburgh to improve their health and wellbeing.
If you are referred to Health All Round by a Community Link
Worker we may, with your permission, continue to involve them
until you feel that you are receiving the support (or services)
that you need.
Link workers provide both telephone and face to face support,
they can accompany you to activities or simply give you the
information you need - whichever you prefer.
You can view the Community Link Worker Privacy statement at the
bottom of the home page.
Przyjaciel w Potrzebie - Friends in Need
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.
Whatever your first language - 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.
Friends in Need - On The Town
Monthly meetings to welcome you to our beautiful city and explore
all that it offers. Everyone welcome.
