Everyone at Healthy Valleys wants to give a huge Thank You to Sinclair for all the support, guidance and time he gave to the organisation over many years. Some of the challenges Sinclair described in his last report for us have stayed the same, but others have moved in positive ways. Healthy Valleys’ accommodation problems were eased when we moved in May to the Lockhart Community Hub in Lanark. This lets our team work in a place that is more convenient for the people who we are here to support. It also brings good opportunities to work alongside people in other community groups and staff who work in Community Health services. We hope this will lead to more good ideas and partnership projects that bring more benefits to people living in our part of South Lanarkshire. People living in Clydesdale continue to be affected by health and social inequalities. This Annual Report shows the many ways Healthy Valleys is responding to the needs and choices of the people we work alongside. Over the past few years the strategies and priorities set for Scotland and for South Lanarkshire have increasingly reflected the approaches that we know make a positive difference in people’s lives: preventing problems arising or escalating, promoting good health and wellbeing, and working with people to build resilience for themselves and their families and for their communities. We are proud to be contributing to achieving good outcomes for people living in our communities as well as achieving the policy outcomes. I want to thank the volunteers and staff at Healthy Valleys and the other members of the board for everything they have contributed to making this another good year.

At Healthy Valleys, we are highly focused on our core strategy: innovative approaches to health improvement, early intervention and prevention, community engagement and empowerment, highly motivated and caring workforce, operational excellence delivering optimum value for money. These are the key factors to our continued growth and success and enable us to deliver effective and efficient community based health models that reduce health inequalities in our operating area. On the move…….from Rigside to Lanark! This interim move has proved extremely successful and brings people together from across the vast rural area; volunteers, beneficiaries and other agencies, working together to strengthen relationships and achieve common goals. Investing in People - People at the Core People are very important to us and that includes staff. We have a very high retention rate, excellent work attendance levels and envious service delivery. Staff growth and development; staff and volunteers access opportunities to increase skills and knowledge through a range of continuing personal developments; conferences, knowledge hubs, seminars, workshops. People are our most precious commodity and we want to continue to develop their skills, experience and knowledge through action learning. Resilient people and communities Early Intervention and Prevention methods are designed to action as soon as possible before issues become more difficult to reverse. Our relentless focus on finding out what people need to help turn their lives around for the better is what we are about. Not giving up when the tough gets tougher, in fact, that makes us more determined to fight for those who feel disempowered and don’t feel their voices are being heard by those who need to hear them and act on what’s being said.
