About Healthy and Active in East Kilbride

Our Home Support services help people to remain independent at home by offering a ‘Keep in Touch’ service via telephone befriending 
‘Keep in touch’ calls happen regularly and are often a quick chat to make sure everything is okay. However, there’s also more intense support when needed, for example support to connect with local activities because of a loss of confidence, bereavement or recovering from illness. Support is also given to people who are experiencing loneliness and isolation and mental health problems.
The team that delivers our Home Support services have vast experience and provide a vital support to local people.

Service Eligibility

We support anyone over the age of 18 within the East Kilbride and District area.  Referrals can be made by contacting us on 01355 571300 or email Sharon@healtyandactive.org.uk
Our mission is to uplift mental and physical health, promote wellbeing, foster independence, and inclusivity. Through a diverse range of services, improved access to local support systems, and collaborative partnerships, we strive to make a positive impact on the East Kilbride locality.
