Craigsfarm Community Wellbeing Programme

The Hub provides a vital and affordable service to the community through its well-being and resilience programme addressing the mental health needs of the Craigshill and broader West Lothian community. We help build connected and inclusive communities where individuals are supported to build good mental health and well-being, and to work to reduce the risk factors for poor mental health.

Our Community Well-being and Resilience Programme is a vital means of engagement for those who find themselves dealing with stress and anxiety and those that are socially isolated, and a welcome well-being focus for community members and groups of friends.
