Social prescribing involves taking time to identify with an individual what matters to them and then, in a person-centred way, connects someone to practical and emotional community support, which can empower and improve health and wellbeing.
Building on our learned experience from delivering ConnectWELL 2014-2022 we are continuing to support and develop relationships to strengthen social prescribing in Warwickshire and Solihull. For further details about the project’s success, please see the extended blog post by clicking here.
As a local infrastructure organisation we frequently participate in a variety of health and wellbeing forums, boards, and networks.
