Social Objectives

At Good For You, we are committed to achieving important social objectives that benefit women, and the wider community. Our primary focus, by providing an app for women to connect, is:

• To promote and support a longer, healthier life for women (which includes, but is not limited to, combating social isolation and lonliness)

The following may or may not surprise you, but regardless, it is evidence that society could do with a helping hand. And why not start with women.

• The Mental Health Foundation (Oct 21) reported around one in five women have a common mental health problem, such as depression and anxiety.
• A Scottish Health Survey (Nov 22) noted 64% of women are overweight and 6% are living with morbid obesity.
• The average ‘healthy life expectancy’ age (the number of years lived in a healthy & active state) is 63 where as the average life expectancy at birth age is 80.
• There is a growing divergence between the demands on & the ability to fund & deliver adequate healthcare for a growing aging population. 538,000 were on NHS waiting lists in Scotland (March 2023), some very much in pain & waiting years on surgery.

Making meaningful social relationships & starting to exercise, even in mid life, can improve the chances of enjoying good health later in life (British Medical Journal 2023, post a 40 year study). Furthermore, it combats social isolation & loneliness today.

Together, we can build a stronger, healthier, inclusive and more connected community in Perth and Kinross, and beyond, where no one is left behind. Join Good For You today and use the app to positively impact on your life and the lives of other women.
