There is a meaningful way for you to be part of this work

Vibrant Health Advocates – Marenne runs on the commitment of people who believe that healthier lives in Linlithgow are worth working for. Whether you want to volunteer as a peer facilitator, make a donation to support our programme costs, or explore a partnership with your organisation, there is a meaningful way for you to be part of this work.

We are a small charity with a clear purpose, and every contribution — of time, money or connection — goes directly toward helping more West Lothian residents quit smoking for good. Our programmes are built and sustained by people from this community, and we remain deliberate about that: the closer the support is to the person receiving it, the more likely it is to make a lasting difference.

If you are unsure where you fit, or have an idea that doesn't fit neatly into any of the categories below, we would love to hear from you anyway. Get in touch and we will find a way to make it work.

Three ways to help

Volunteer. Donate. Partner.

Every form of contribution matters, and each one goes directly toward helping more Linlithgow residents find lasting freedom from smoking.

Volunteer

If you have quit smoking and want to use that experience to help others, we would love to talk to you about becoming a trained peer facilitator. We provide full training, ongoing supervision, and a genuinely rewarding role at the centre of our groups.

💛

Donate

Your donation funds the direct costs of running our groups — venue hire, facilitator training, printed materials, and the check-in support that keeps participants connected between sessions. As a small SCIO, every pound is spent close to the work.

Partner With Us

We welcome partnerships with local employers, health settings, community organisations and schools who want to bring stop-smoking support to their people. We can offer information sessions, referral pathways, and tailored outreach to suit your setting.

Become a facilitator

Your quit is your qualification

We believe the most important thing a peer facilitator brings is not a certificate — it is the lived knowledge that quitting is possible. Our full training programme equips you with the group facilitation skills, the cessation science, and the safeguarding awareness to support others effectively. What you already have — your experience of craving, of difficult days, of eventually not needing the cigarette — is the foundation everything else is built on.

What training covers

Group facilitation skills · Stop-smoking science and NRT options · Craving and trigger management · Safeguarding and confidentiality · Relapse and recovery conversations · NHS referral pathways
