Enjoying an active social life

Enjoying an active social life is just as important for your mental health and well as your physical health.  

Getting out and about in the community, enjoying the company of others, meeting like-minded individuals with similar interests all helps to improve our personal wellbeing.

Kinship, community and volunteer support

Across East Lothian there are a number of recognised groups and organisations that provide advice and support for those who may be in need of community care.

There are also a number of agencies and voluntary organisations that provide local and national services, ranging from advice to direct support to different sections of the community. 

Likewise, family, friends and neighbours can be a source of support to help with every day simple activities, e.g. going to the shops.
