What is social prescribing?

Many things can affect our health and well-being which could include feeling isolated, lonely or stressed by work money and housing problems or living with a health condition.

Social prescribing helps people to improve their health, wellbeing and social welfare by connecting them to services and activities in their local community. This could include:

  • social activities
  • walking, well-being and fitness groups
  • parent support groups
  • arts, gardening and creative activities
  • employment and training support
  • housing and benefits support
