OUR STORY

Wellbeing, Health & You or WHY, was originally created as way for health and social care professionals to structure wellbeing for people. It's founder, Alex Molineaux, identified an opportunity for a long term peer support model to improve wellbeing if a persons healthcare had been optimised. However, this concept has now grown and evolved into 4 areas

  1. To improve wellbeing by creating personal interactions that otherwise wouldn't happen as a way of developing a sense of common unity

  2. To improve wellbeing with a structured framework that promotes personal growth

  3. To improve wellbeing by increasing access to commercial and third sector opportunities

  4. To find ways of integrating technology to improve wellbeing and interconnectedness

WHY believes that to provide a structured framework of physical, emotional and social wellbeing we have to develop communities that people feel invested in. The opportunity for people to build communities with a shared sense of identity is one excites us. We hope to build communities where there is a place for everyone to have fun, make new connections and promote personal growth.

Our Vision

To us, wellbeing means being valued. In practice that means finding ways to accept ourselves and the people around us. We encourage you to grow within yourself and your community to achieve that.

To us, there is no health without wellbeing.

We believe that for people to grow they have to first feel comfortable with themselves and the people they're with. So we encourage a growth mindset that allows space for negatives and positives to coexist.

We want to motivate people to do things that they're interested in and find people to do them with that they otherwise wouldn't of met. We work with businesses, charities and local authorities to create those interactions that otherwise wouldn't happen.

We want to be an active agent in building communities around a sense of common unity & belonging. We want communities to have a sense of ownership in creating peer support networks that are enduring.

We hope that by supporting communities to build this shared framework of wellbeing we can generate personal and communal growth.
