Activities
'It carries out activities or services itself'
'the advancement of health'
The BLSC aims to improve the health and wellbeing of emergency service workers, healthcare staff, and other public service professionals in Scotland by offering surf therapy programs backed by research. We run activities and training that support mental and physical health, create a safe space for people to talk openly about mental health without judgment, and guide them toward further help if needed. We also support research into how community-based and physical activities can benefit these workers. We have mainly been at a planning and formulation stage through the time of this reporting period.
Beneficiaries: 'Other defined groups'
Objectives: The organisation's purposes are to advance the health of emergency service, healthcare, and other public service workers in Scotland, through the provision of evidence based surf therapy courses. Specific activities to support this purpose include: (a) Developing and providing evidence-based activities, training and education to help participants maintain or improve their health, and experience relief from suffering while attending the program. (b) Encouraging and supporting participants to discuss mental health without stigma and be enabled to actively access support. This includes signposting to and supporting participants to access further acute and/or clinical mental health care where required. (c) To enable and support the undertaking of research into the use of community based/ physical activity approaches to support emergency service, healthcare, and other public sector workers.
