Healthy and Active in East Kilbride Ltd

Healthy and Active East Kilbride were awarded £114,000 in July 2024 to run their project for 36 months

A three year project to develop and deliver a programme supporting people on waiting lists for specialist support, though a 4-week programme of weekly self management skills training after which participants will have access to up to 8 weeks of weekly activity groups. The content will be codesigned and delivered by people with lived experience. The project hopes to develop learning around the effectiveness of the structure, which aspects of support are impactful in supporting self management, the specific challenges and barriers in engaging and supporting the target demographic as well as potential gaps in support.

Without making any predictions or commitment, the project hopes to also understand the percentage of participants who remove themselves from waiting lists, as well as the percentage of participants on waiting lists who experience a lower than expected degree of progression of their condition, and what has led to these outcomes for participants.
