Part of this community. Every day.
Vibrant Health Advocates - Vega is a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation based in Hamilton, South Lanarkshire. We exist because the gap between what low-income households are entitled to and what they actually receive remains stubbornly, damagingly wide. Our work is to close that gap — one household at a time — by bringing benefits advice, energy support, and health information together under one roof and delivering it in the community where people actually live.
Hamilton sits at the heart of Lanarkshire, a post-industrial town where generations of working families built something lasting, and where today a significant proportion of residents live on low or fixed incomes. The challenges here are real and well-documented: higher-than-average rates of fuel poverty, long-term health conditions linked to cold and damp housing, and a welfare system that is genuinely difficult to navigate without help.
We know this community because we are part of it. Our staff and volunteers come from Hamilton and the surrounding towns. We know which estates have the oldest boiler stock, which GP surgeries have the busiest waiting rooms, and which families have been waiting months for a response from the council.
