The Health Forum is a community-led health improvement project tasked with bringing together many different groups and agencies in order to enhance the health and well being of the people in the Bogside & Brandywell community and to reduce health inequalities.

FACILITIES

We are based in office accommodation in the Gasyard Centre. We also have a fully equipped Dental Surgery which houses a joint project with Foyle Health & Social Services Trust, entitled Community Challenge for Oral Health.

While many of our programmes are held in other facilities such as An Druma Mór community hall or within the café space at the Gasyard, quite a lot of what we do is carried out in other community venues within the Bogside & Brandywell area.
