Welcome
Operating from Seaton & Linksfield neighbourhoods, and surrounding areas, we are a volunteer, lived experience & local resident led community charity. We believe in a salutogenic approach to community wellness. As such we are working with RGU, Scott Sutherland School of architecture, on a Seaton Vision. Visit Reimagining Seaton.
A ‘salutogenic’ approach is one that focuses on factors that support health and wellbeing, beyond a more traditional, ‘pathogenic’ focus on risk and problems.
This approach is widely used around the world – in health, education, workplaces, architectural design – and we believe it has enormous relevance in the transformation of the community.
‘Salutogenesis’ means ‘sources of health’ from the Latin word ‘salus’ (health) and the Greek word ‘genesis’ (source). Sociologist Aaron Antonovsky coined the term in 1968 to explain why some people manage to live well even when subject to extreme stress or illness.
Fully inclusive, without barriers or labels we are committed to positive change.
