Welcome to the WHY Programme - Wellbeing Health and You

CHWB offers health and wellbeing outreach services to the business community through our “WHY” programme. Our business activities help us finance bespoke programmes of health improvement for people from all backgrounds and communities.
Our aim is to play a key role in contributing towards an improved level of health and wellbeing for Scotland’s population. This goal will be achieved through the delivery of a range of health and wellbeing services for both anticipatory care and secondary prevention. We also aim to help reduce the incidence of long-term conditions that necessitate prolonged absences from work. This, in itself, could make a significant contribution to the national economy.
Our social aim is to re-invest profits directly into the local community for the benefit of all people and in particular those who would otherwise not be able to afford health and wellbeing services. The funds for our re-investment events are generated from our business activities. We call this our “Robin Hood concept”.
 
Objectives of WHY

1. To create a healthy and productive workforce.

2. To equip individuals to take greater control of their own health.

3. To reduce UK employers’ £13bn annual absenteeism bill.

4. To have an impact on the number of people on long-term sick leave and going on to claim incapacity benefit.

5. To provide individual care plans for long-term physical and / or mental health conditions, with better support and information for both patient and carer.
