Rooted in Glenrothes, accountable to our community
Vibrant Health Advocates – Andromeda is a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation registered in Scotland and based in Glenrothes, Fife.
We exist to make health and wellbeing support genuinely accessible to disabled people living in Glenrothes and the surrounding new town communities — a population that has historically faced significant barriers to mainstream provision. Our work spans physical wellbeing, mental health awareness, health literacy, and social connection, delivered through a programme of regular sessions, workshops, and outreach activities.
Glenrothes was built as a new town in the post-war decades, and its geography — dispersed housing schemes, a town centre that has changed considerably over the years, variable public transport — creates real access challenges for people with mobility impairments, sensory disabilities, learning disabilities, and long-term health conditions. We know this landscape intimately.
Our staff and volunteers are local people; many have personal or family experience of disability. That knowledge means we design provision that reflects the real texture of life in this town, not an idealised version of it.
As a SCIO, we are governed by a board of trustees drawn from the Glenrothes community, including disabled people with lived experience of the issues we address. We are accountable to our participants, our funders, and the wider Fife community, and we publish our accounts and annual report through OSCR in line with our legal obligations. We hold membership of Fife Voluntary Action and collaborate regularly with NHS Fife Health Promotion, Fife Council Social Work, and a range of local disability organisations.
