🌐 Overview of the Website
The Benenden Health Community is an online community platform created for members of Benenden Health.

It is a private social network + forum, specifically designed for people who are part of the Benenden Health membership.

Its main purpose is to:

• Connect members together
• Provide a space to discuss health topics
• Share experiences and advice
• Stay updated on membership-related news and events

🎯 Purpose of the Platform
This site is not a typical corporate website — it’s a community engagement hub.

It serves three key goals:

1. 👥 Build a Member Community
Members can:

• Talk to each other
• Share personal health journeys
• Ask questions and give advice

👉 The content is largely user-generated, like posts, discussions, and replies.

2. 🧠 Promote Health & Wellbeing
The platform encourages discussions around:

• Mental health
• Physical wellbeing
• Lifestyle improvements

It creates a supportive environment where people can openly discuss real-life health challenges.

3. 📢 Keep Members Informed
It acts as a communication channel for:

• Announcements
• Updates about services
• Events and voting (e.g. AGM, conferences)

⚙️ How the Platform Works (Technical Structure)
The site is structured like a classic forum system:

• Categories → Forums → Topics → Posts

Users can:

• Start discussions
• Reply to others
• Follow topics
• Share media (images, links, etc.)

This is very similar to platforms like Reddit or traditional bulletin boards.
