Strategic Health and Wellbeing Services

Strategic Health and Wellbeing (SHAWS) CIC is a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to tackling health inequalities, reducing social isolation and empowering underserved communities to lead healthier, more active and independent lives. We support older adults aged 65+, people living with long-term health conditions, underrepresented communities and individuals facing socio-economic disadvantage. Our community-led programmes include Strength and Balance classes, yoga, Pilates, ladies-only swimming, badminton and culturally inclusive physical activities. We remove financial, cultural, language and social barriers to participation, creating safe, welcoming spaces where individuals can improve their health, build confidence, develop friendships and feel valued.
