Join us to mark the launch of an exciting report which showcases the power of community-based, holistic, link-worker based health and wellbeing support.

The report tells the story of Cumbrian people who have benefitted from social prescribing approaches, through a series of case studies.

They have faced challenges including bereavement, addiction, homelessness and ill-health. Link work and community support from the VCFSE sector has helped empowered them to improve their health and given them hope for the future.

It also brings together the most recent research on the benefits of social prescribing both to the system (financial savings, reduced burden on healthcare) and to the individual (mental health and wellbeing).

Come and hear from members of the steering group on how the report was put together and what it means for the future of neighbourhood health in North Cumbria.

Let us know if you would like a stall to showcase your organisation or team.

A buffet lunch will be provided at 12noon.
