Social Prescribing in your area

Social prescribing is an umbrella term that describes a person-centred approach to connecting people to local community assets. Community assets include community groups, interventions and services which could be delivered online or in person, as well as buildings, land or even a person within a community.

Social prescribing is a way of connecting people, whatever their age or background, with their community to better manage their health and wellbeing. It can help empower individuals to recognise their own needs, strengths, and personal assets and to connect with their own communities for support with their health and wellbeing.

Why is Social Prescribing important? 

Expectations of social prescribing are high with it being considered as one of the solutions to:

  • improving health and wellbeing of individuals 
  • reducing inequalities 
  • mitigating the impact of social determinants on health;
