Health and Wellbeing

Origin Housing believes that health and wellbeing are an important aspect of community development.

Formerly part of Origin’s Sustainable Communities programme, Health and Wellbeing is a fundamental part of our work to promote community cohesion.

Health and Wellbeing addresses core issues such as:

• Access to health services;
• Information and advice;
• Support for carers;
• Healthy food and exercise.

The priorities of our Health and Wellbeing program include:

• Improving access to health services;
• Improving access to relevant information and advice;
• Improving access to healthy, affordable food;
• Increasing opportunities for exercise;
• Targeting issues that affect residents – e.g. teenage pregnancy, heart disease, diabetes.
