Social Prescription

Social Prescription is designed to help people take back control of their lives and put people in touch with local services that can help them in a wide variety of ways.

If you’re experiencing any of the below, our Social Prescription programme may be able to help you:

• Feeling lonely or isolated
• Living with persistent low mood
• Living with a long-term health condition
• Struggling with a personal situation and don’t know where to go for support
• Struggling with carer responsibilities

You can receive up to 12 weeks of funded access to different activities in your community, for example physical activity, social/support groups, creative groups, and advice from specialist services. A small fee may be applicable.

“From the moment we first spoke, I felt that you really cared about my situation and you gave me the time to talk, which was so important to me at that time. You were able to offer lots of suggestions to support my mental health and anxiety, and also practical ones, such as benefit websites, that I had been unaware of.”
