Find out more about our vision to build relationships with local residents, support community members and improve local skills.
North Glasgow Healthy Living Community (HLC) is a locally-based voluntary organisation and registered charity since 2004 working across North East and North West Glasgow.
We support the creation of community-led healthy living opportunities and work with individuals to build capacity leading to improved community health and wellbeing. Local people are central to the success of our approach.
Our communities are places where local residents have not benefitted from the improvements achieved elsewhere.
We strive to work with those communities to accelerate better outcomes for individuals and groups. We support local residents to engage and to ensure that they are at the heart of decision-making. Local people are central to the success of our approach.
We have a successful track record in both running large funded projects including NHSGG&C Axis Health Hubs since 2013 alongside Wyndford Axis; funded by Glasgow City Council’s Integrated Grants Fund.
To build relationships with local residents across communities to ensure positive impacts for local people; particularly through targeting disengaged residents and groups and ensuring that they are key drivers and equal partners in community processes.
To support residents to identify, articulate and fulfil the aspirations that they have for both themselves and their community.
To play a key role in building confidence, maximising community capacity to improve local skills, supporting resilience and strengthening the community voice.
