South Down Family Health Initiative was formed in 2004 to address the health needs of families and communities in the South Down area. We work with local individuals and families to support and enable people to improve their health and wellbeing. SDFHI works to encourage people to learn new skills and knowledge and develop confidence through action.  We work to make connections for and connections for and between individuals and groups on community development and health issues.

We work at the heart of the family and the community on a range of opportunities, services and programmes. We also provide representation and strategic focus to statutory and community partnerships concerned with community development, health and well being.
