What is Social Prescribing?
Social Prescribing is about supporting people to live well. We connect individuals to their local community in order to help them improve their overall wellbeing. Through listening to a person’s needs, we can recommend anything from support and advice organisations, to social or activity groups.
We take a holistic approach, understanding ‘what matters’ in the lives of those we help.
Our service seeks to support with developing confidence, learning skills, trying a new activity and human connection. By listening we empower those we work with to feel heard, valued and hopeful about their future.
