Living Well in Central Dalkeith and Woodburn, which includes local groups as such as the Central Dalkeith and Woodburn Pantry along with Midlothian Council and the NHS, has been set up to support the health and wellbeing and reduce inequality of those who live in Central Dalkeith and Woodburn.

The group is helping develop a new Local Outcome Improvement Plan (LOIP). Once the plan is agreed, the group will be working with local people, partners and community groups, to put some of the agreed community actions in place.

Its aims are:

·       to improve health, wellbeing and learning outcomes

·       towards no child or household living in poverty

·       to progress towards net zero carbon emissions for example; reducing food waste, alternative energy, active travel, reuse, recycling and upcycling.
