📢 New report highlights the need to invest in community capacity for successful social prescribing
NASP & @LocalTrust with the CRESR at @sheffhallamuni, showcase how local people can shape and lead programmes tailored to their communities' needs: ow.ly/b0Jz50UJY02
ALT “While the NHS roll-out of social prescribing has proved successful, the next steps should include ensuring long-term, sustainable support for community-led schemes. Bringing together funding from different sources to develop locally designed programmes, and ensuring these are well connected to the health system, can have huge benefits. This approach can play an important role in the shift to prevention and to more health support being available in communities rather than hospitals.”
