🌿 Social Prescribing Day – March 2026 🌿
Today is Social Prescribing Day, a chance to celebrate the support that link workers and community groups offer every day.
Social prescribing helps people improve their wellbeing by connecting them to non medical support, such as:
• Local activities and hobby groups
• Money, housing, or employment advice
• Volunteering opportunities
• Mental health and wellbeing support
• Community exercise or walking groups
It’s all about seeing the whole person and helping them find the right support in their community.
Thank you to everyone involved in social prescribing, you make a real difference.
