What is Social Prescribing?
Social prescribing is a community-centered approach to health and wellbeing that connects individuals to a range of non-clinical support services. It aims to improve health and wellbeing by addressing the social, emotional, and practical needs that affect people's lives. Social prescribing is not a new concept; it has been used in the UK and has expanded globally to create an internationally agreed definition. It is designed to support individuals in taking greater control of their health and wellbeing, complementing other approaches in a local area such as active signposting.

This week, we've been celebrating Volunteers Week and the great impact volunteers have made in their local communities.

In this spirit, earlier this week we celebrated some of our Good Neighbour groups and welcomed them to our vineyard at Warden Abbey. We had a lovely time - despite the threat of thunder and lightning!

We're grateful to everyone involved in Good Neighbour Schemes. The work that you do inspires us all! 💜💚
