Today is National Social Prescribing Day

Across Humber and North Yorkshire, we’re celebrating the people, partnerships and communities that make social prescribing happen every day.

Social prescribing connects people to non-medical support in their communities from creative activities and physical exercise to housing advice, community groups and voluntary sector services. Helping individuals take greater control of their health and wellbeing.

This year, we're highlighting real case studies from across the region. These stories demonstrate the real impact social prescribing has on individuals, communities and the wider system.

Read the case studies and see social prescribing in action 👇
