🌿 1 day to go until National Social Prescribing Day – 26th March! 🌿

Social prescribing helps people access the right support in their community to improve their wellbeing. This could include:
💚 Support for mental health and emotional wellbeing
🏡 Help with housing or financial worries
🤝 Reducing loneliness and isolation
👩‍👧 Support for carers and families
🏃 Activities to improve physical health and confidence

Through social prescribing, people are connected to local groups, services and activities that can make a real difference to their lives because sometimes the best support doesn’t come from a prescription, but from people, connection and community.

If you would like support looking or accessing community groups, wellbeing sessions and local support services focusing on:
✔️ Mental health & wellbeing
✔️ Cost of living & financial advice
✔️ Housing support
✔️ Carer support
✔️ Tackling loneliness

Then please get in touch at reception at your GP surgery, you can self-refer into our Social Prescribing Service.

Social Prescribing Day is all about celebrating the amazing community support around us and the people who help connect others to it.

If you or someone you know could benefit from extra support, reach out, you’re not alone 💚

🌼 Social Prescribing Day – 26th March 2026 🌼

Social Prescribing Day, a day dedicated to recognising the incredible impact of community support on people’s health and wellbeing.

Health is about so much more than medicine. Sometimes what people really need is connection, support, and practical help with everyday life. Social prescribing links people with services and activities in their community that can improve their wellbeing, whether that’s help at home, joining a local group, getting support with daily tasks, or simply having someone who cares.

For many people who feel isolated, overwhelmed, or unsure where to turn, social prescribing can open the door to:
💚 Community connection
💚 Practical support
💚 Improved mental wellbeing
💚 A stronger sense of belonging

Social Prescribing day is also a chance to recognise the amazing work of link workers, community organisations, volunteers, and support services who help people feel seen, heard, and supported every single day.

Let’s continue building communities where nobody has to struggle alone.

If you have had a positive experience with Social Prescribers, weather that be professionals, patients, community volunteers - we would love to hear your experience! ⭐️
