Partnerships
Atlantis Leisure
From its inception, Healthy Options has worked in close partnership with Atlantis Leisure. We hire their facilities to hold welcome meetings and education classes, deliver fitness classes, utilise the gym and provide wellbeing support for clients, and we work collaboratively to build workforce capacity between the organisations and on other projects for the benefit both organisations—and the community. This partnership is a key component in supporting our community’s health and wellbeing. Additionally, the community health and wellness programme, Elevate & Stay Active (launched April 2025), is a partnership programme between Atlantis and Healthy Options.
Oban Collective
Healthy Options is a founding member of the Oban Collective, working alongside the core partners to respond to local needs - to strengthen community wellbeing, sustainability, and opportunity.
The partnership grew from the Connecting Communities Collective project, which was built on the understanding that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts; because by working together, we can better use resources, share learning, and reach more people in our communities.
We believe in collaboration, not competition.
This partnership approach helps us respond more effectively to local needs, develop joint initiatives, and build stronger relationships. This has resulted in our flagship project, Re_Store.
HSCP Living Well in Argyll & Bute
Leading on from historic cross-sector partnership work designed to minimise the risk of unscheduled care and hospital admissions, as well as improve health and wellbeing in our communities, Healthy Options continues to work with Argyll & Bute HSCP supporting the Living Well strategy for people living with, or at risk of developing, long-term health conditions. Healthy Options is proud to be part of “The Living Well Programme”, an A&B-wide service development aimed at taking rehabilitation services out of hospital or clinical settings and into the community. This allows us to support more people to improve their health and wellbeing by utilising community assets in a proactive and holistic approach.
As the sector’s chartered professional body, CIMSPA works on behalf of the whole sport and physical activity sector – supporting, developing and enabling professionals to succeed and, as a result, support the UK to be more active. As an Employer Partner, Healthy Options aligns our staff support, training and development with CIMSPA’s Professional Standards to ensure that our amazing staff have everything they need to feel supported and to support our clients.
DM Hall generously donated Healthy Options’ uniforms this year! We are very grateful to have the partnership of this community-minded organisation!
