Health

SAF predominantly focuses on serving the deprived and disadvantaged members of the community – through services focusing on skills development, relief of sickness and preservation of health and other hardships. The organisation does that through advice, workshops, signposting and engaging with other key partners in the local borough. The health project was initially launched as a result of responding to the needs of the local community.

In the past, SAF has served over 200 individuals through various services as well as providing health training to the local communities. Our experience of running health improvement programmes to those individuals where traditionally, health awareness is very limited. The successful experience of delivering health programmes to the community worked in partnership with local communities, has given the organisation the necessary experience and project management skills to meet the health needs of the community.

Our service towards health included:

• Promote physical activity and healthy lifestyles
• Promote healthy eating
• Reduce isolation and
• Prevention of mental health issues
• Facilitate & support and training to relevant agencies in relation to the health care needs.
• Provide holistic health needs assessment.
• Support in accessing healthcare and registering with General practice, in order to promote integration into mainstream service.
