WHAT IS SOCIAL PRESCRIBING?

Social prescribing is a way to support young people’s health and wellbeing by connecting them with activities, groups, and services in their community. It’s about finding the right support for each young person, whether that’s joining a local club, trying new hobbies, getting active, or accessing specialist services so they feel happier, more connected, and supported in their everyday life.

Our approach 

  • Cartoon illustration of a black cat face with big eyes and a pink nose, with a pink arrow pointing left.

    YOU SET THE GOALS

    We focus on what matters to you or your family, not what’s decided by services. 

  • Stacked colorful blocks with increasing height and a green block in the middle.

    CONNECTED SUPPORT

    We work with local groups, schools, and networks to make sure you get the right help in the right place.

You just have to take the first step – and we’re here to walk with you.
