Always worth highlighting again!

Do you know what social prescribing is?
Social prescribing is help that doesn’t come in a pill, tube or bottle. Bury's social prescribing team, who work across Bury GP practices, have been running a weekly social group for men called Broken Biscuits.
“I wouldn’t be here without this group.” said Paul from Prestwich, who says that social prescribing support and the camaraderie of a local men’s social group has saved his life. Another member, Mick agrees. The former veteran who struggles with PTSD and other health conditions, said: “We’re all a little bit broken, but the benefit of having a welcoming group – whether we want to talk or not – cannot be underestimated.”
