We are delighted to present this first catalogue of voluntary and community organisations that work in ways that support the health and wellbeing of local people.

Many of these organisations are primarily concerned with addressing the issues and experiences around illness and disability or helping people through the aftermath of an injury or unwelcome diagnosis. For others, while health is not their reason for existing, they have seen how the work they do promotes wellbeing and enables individuals, families and communities to get so much more out of life.
