information DESCRIPTION

We are a health and wellbeing organisation that supports people with long term conditions.

We're here for anyone living with a long-term health condition, disability or facing a challenging life situation.

Through one-to-one support, wellbeing courses, community groups and supported physical activity, we support people to live well regardless of challenges faced.

We support people living with disabilities, long-term conditions or facing challenging life situations to live well, whatever that means to them.

We support people to take control of their life, focusing on the person, not their situation. We listen to what a person tells us they need and we tailor our support around that, working beside people until they are able to manage life without us.

Our support takes many different forms...

- Health and wellbeing support for people living with long term health conditions or facing challenging life situations.
- Supported Living - personalised support packages for people with disabilities to live independently in their own homes.
- Thistle YP - support for young disabled people moving from school to adult life to plan for the future of their choice.
- Volunteer training so people with lived experience of long-term conditions can deliver our work in their communities.
