Four Pillars
Four Pillars’ mission is to support the LGBT+ community in manners of Mental, Emotional, Physical & Sexual Health and offer information & support on a person to person basis to build a community that supports itself through peer education; thereby allowing individuals to make informed choices to improve their overall health & wellbeing.
WHO ARE FOUR PILLARS?
Four Pillars started in 2016. The founders were involved in the LGBT+ community and were dissatisfied by the gap in services for the community across Grampian. They recognised that a lack of information, support and social activities meant that the community were drifting further apart. Individuals were becoming more isolated and this was creating barriers into education, acceptance and belonging.
The primary aim of rebuilding a community across Grampian was set out in the mission statement from day one. With this in mind, Four Pillars stands for four vital aspects of people’s well-being to keep them happy and healthy in respect of their mental, physical, emotional, sexual health & well-being.
OUR MISSION?
Four Pillars’ mission is to support the LGBT+ community in manners of Mental, Emotional, Physical & Sexual Health and offer information & support on a person to person basis to build a community that supports itself through peer education; thereby allowing individuals to make informed choices to improve their overall health & wellbeing.
OUR AIMS & VALUES
It is Four Pillars’ belief that in order to look after a person’s health & wellbeing we must look after their mental, emotional, physical & sexual health simultaneously. For example; we understand that if a person is not in the right frame of mind to look after their basic needs (health & safety) they are less likely to look after their sexual health, increasing their chance of HIV & STI transmissions.
