How can Live Well help you?
Our programme
Live Well gives people encouragement to join activities in their community. We know people often need a bit of support to have the confidence to get involved. Whether that is joining a walking group to get active and making new friends, taking part in a volunteer session or learning something new.
You will be linked with one of our advisers when you take part in Live Well. They will help you to access activities and programmes in your area.
Our team will link people to activities across Glasgow. Anyone aged 18+ who lives in the area or is willing to travel to one of the areas can refer or be referred to the programme.

Improving people's lives
We help people to take part in sport sessions delivered by Glasgow Life. We also connect people to museum activities, arts and craft sessions, singing groups and local physical activity classes.
Our Live Well team has built strong relationships with local groups. This allows us to link people with activities which are happening in their area. Being able to signpost someone to an activity they are interested in is incredibly valuable.

“I feel Live Well support has helped me to get involved in activities and mix with other people which is something I wouldn’t have done before. I feel happier and more content in my life and better emotionally, physically and psychologically.
This project has helped me make the first step towards living my life. I find it hard to leave the house and even harder to go somewhere like a group but I have managed that with this project. Having the support of Donna who understands has been amazing.
