Welcome to
Renfrewshire Community Health Initiative
Our aim is to improve health and wellbeing in Renfrewshire.
'Health' is often only perceived as a negative issue as many people only think of their health when they are ill. At RCHI we aim to encourage people to see their health as a positive aspect of their life, an integral part of what makes life good, happy and enjoyable.
RCHI came into existence in 1998 as a community-led organisation and it remains as such to this day. We have considerable experience in delivering community-led health improvement activities which have been well supported by key statutory and voluntary organisations within Renfrewshire.
We are the only voluntary sector community-led health organisation in Renfrewshire. We deliver a range of health improvement activities to groups and individuals in the community to help people cope with their life circumstances. We aim to provide local people with opportunities to take an active part in improving their own health and wellbeing, together with that of their family and their community.
The target group are those people living in Renfrewshire who have unmet health needs and whose social circumstances and lifestyle choices increase their risk of shorter life expectancy and chronic poor health.
