Cambuslang and Rutherglen Community Health Initiative (CHI)

This project works to provide members of the community of Cambuslang and Rutherglen with the opportunity to take an active part in ensuring their community’s health and well being.  The initiative works in partnership with the community, the voluntary sector and statutory organisations to develop a network and infrastructure that supports a wider range of community health activities to be initiated and developed.  The CHI used leap to develop a strategic plan; support the merger of two projects; provide evidence for evaluation and has found that it improves communication internally and externally because people are really clear about what they are doing and why they are doing it.
