KINGSWAY COURT HEALTH & WELLBEING CENTRE About Us Registered Scottish Charity No: SC030788    Company Registration No: 375922 As a local resident and having used the services of Kingsway Court Health & Wellbeing Centre, I was really impressed with help I received and decided I wanted to help others who are or have been in the same situation as myself, so I joined the Board of Directors. I see the Centre as an integral part of community life, and alongside the staff and other directors, I continue to help our community become a community living in harmony and focusing on their own health and wellbeing. Our health & wellbeing is affected by many factors, housing, employment, physical health and environment to mention but a few, and I felt if I could do anything to help improve things, then it had to be worth a try.  Plus, I like to be involved in the community and at the ‘hub’ of getting things done. Being a local resident with a passion to see my community grow and thrive, I was delighted when the Centre opened in 2002, and joined immediately.  I have a particular passion for the elderly in our community and wanted to ensure there are activities and services available to them, I now run a very successful weekly pensioners drop-in and lunch club. Having been involved with the Centre as part of Kingslink Carnival and Kingsway Eye Film-making Group over the last few years, I came to realise that the onus is on us, local people who live in the community to make change happen, and improve our environment and ultimately our health and wellbeing.  With this in mind, I took the decision to become an active member of Kingsway Court Health & Wellbeing Centre, as I feel it is an integral part of the community and an excellent ‘tool’ to help local people make change for the better happen Our community is made up from people from many cultures and walks of life, I got very angry and frustrated when I witnessed the way the Home Office was treating our Asylum Seekers, so along with some other local residents, I set up Kingsway Amnesty Group to oppose the way people were being treated and ultimately it resulted in dawn raids being abolished and people being treated in a more humane way.  I continue to be part of the Centre, which I see as the ‘heart of this community’ to help aid integration in any way I can.
