It's Social Prescribing Day

Thanks to Barbara and Sasha who make up our WIN Social Prescribing & Wellbeing Team

WHAT IS SOCIAL PRESCRIBING?

Many things that affect our health cannot be treated by doctors or medicine alone, like loneliness, isolation or stress due to problems with debt or housing. Social prescribing connects people to non-medical support to address these issues and other unmet needs.

Social prescribing involves understanding the complexities of people’s lives and the inequalities they may face. It can help change the circumstances that make people unwell, and empower people to manage existing health problems. It can help people to connect and to grow in confidence.

If you feel you may benefit from our social prescribing team call our main number on 01253 204 333 and press option 5 to leave a message and they will contact you.
