🌿 What is Social Prescribing Day? 🌿

Social Prescribing Day is an annual celebration of the people, organisations, and communities that make social prescribing possible. It highlights how health and wellbeing go beyond medicine — and how connection, community, and support can change lives.

Social prescribing allows healthcare professionals to refer people to non-medical support in their community, such as:
💚 Local support groups
🎨 Arts and creative activities
🚶 Walking or exercise classes
🌼 Volunteering opportunities
🤝 Community services

Instead of only treating symptoms, social prescribing focuses on the whole person — helping improve mental health, reduce loneliness, and build stronger communities.

It’s a day to recognise the incredible work of link workers, community organisations, volunteers, and healthcare teams who help people live happier, healthier lives.

Let’s celebrate the power of community and connection! 💚
