Health and Wellbeing
One Vision Housing exists to support our customers and encourage ideas and initiatives that will make our communities better places to live and work.
That’s why we employ a Health Promotion Officer to promote and increase health and wellbeing throughout our workforce and the communities in which we operate. This post is part funded by Sefton NHS which also provides us with advice, support and information tailored to our customers’ needs.
Through consultation with our customers and local agencies we offer a variety of activities that can help you improve your health and wellbeing such as:
- Cooking on a budget – learn how to cook cheaply using healthy ingredients to help combat chronic heart disease, high blood pressure and obesity. Also education on salts, sugars, and fats and how to use less but still enjoy food
- Sessions on weight management to help aid weight loss
- Walking and cycling in the community
- Chair based classes for the elderly
- Health events
- Green Gym and community gardens
- Advice and information on smoking and alcohol.
