About Us
The Wellbeing Link is about helping local people, who are living in isolation with life-threatening health issues.
Founded by Julie Quick and Sue Woodley, local holistic therapists; both of whom noticed the need for extra support for local people in sociable surroundings and get the extra support needed to improve their overall health and wellbeing, through a range of activities.
Together with other local therapists and professional advisors, the Wellbeing Link was launched in May 2014 with an Open Day at Dartford Football Club.
On the day, members of the local community were able to find out what we’re all about, in addition, sign-up to attend our weekly meetings in West Hill.
The launch day was a fun-packed and informative day with stalls, interactive events, demos, tasters of Massage, Reflexology, Indian Head Massage, Beauty treatments, and more.
We were graced by Dartford’s then-Mayor Avtar Sandhu, who welcomed the formation of the Wellbeing Link and its aspirations for the people of Dartford and Dartford-born actress and writer Diana Quick (sister of Julie).
Our Purpose
As a non-profit community organisation, we offer support for people with health conditions of all kinds.
We place an emphasis on being social in the form of activities such as arts and crafts, games, exercise or dance sessions, quizzes, complementary therapies, beauty/relaxation treatments, and day trips; along with help in the legal and financial advice, and signposting to other local organisations.
Our Service users
Wellbeing Link offers sociable surroundings to get extra support for people with a life-affecting condition that affects their lives, whether be it physical, mental, or emotional, even feeling lonely or isolated.
Currently, our group includes people with Arthritis, Back Problems, Cancer, Diabetes, Mobility Problems, Fibromyalgia, Heart conditions, and bereavement; some of our members are carers.
We provide a safe friendly supportive space where you can find new ways to deal with your situation. Carers and family are welcome to come to the group with or without the person they are caring for.
