We provide a range of specialized services that empower people to live healthier, more fulfilling lives.

​

Social Prescribing Support

Social prescribing is about connecting individuals to non-medical services that can significantly improve their quality of life. Our social prescribing teams work with you to identify your personal goals and challenges, whether they relate to mental health, loneliness, housing problems, financial hardship (benefits, debt), social care or access to community services. 

 

We take a holistic approach, looking beyond medical issues to understand the social, emotional, and practical barriers you might be facing. Once we understand your needs, we link you to a variety of local services, groups, and activities such as:

​

- Mental health support groups

- Exercise and fitness programmes

- Volunteering opportunities

- Employment and housing advice

- Financial and benefits advice

- Social clubs and befriending services

 

Our goal is to support you in building the confidence and skills you need to improve your health, independence, and overall wellbeing.​

Health and Wellbeing Coaches

Our health and wellbeing coaching service provides personalized one-on-one support to help you manage and improve your physical and mental health. Our qualified coaches work with you to identify specific areas of your life where you’d like to make positive changes and guide you through practical steps to achieve your goals. 

 

We focus on empowering you to take control of your own health. Whether you want to:

- Improve your diet and nutrition

- Get more physically active

- Manage stress or anxiety

- Develop better sleep habits

- Quit smoking or reduce alcohol consumption

 

Our coaches are here to provide the tools, motivation, and support to help you succeed. We believe in small, sustainable changes that lead to lasting improvements in your overall wellbeing. With our support, you’ll be able to create a healthier lifestyle that fits your individual needs.

Activities for People with Learning Disabilities (LD)

We are passionate about supporting individuals with learning disabilities to live more independent and meaningful lives. Our self-advocacy service ensures that people with LD are empowered to make informed decisions, have their voices heard, and access the services they are entitled to. We provide guidance on key areas such as:

- Understanding your rights

- Navigating health and social care services

- Ensuring access to education, employment, and housing

 

In addition to self-advocacy, we also run a variety of wellbeing and creative activities designed specifically for individuals with learning disabilities and other disabilities. These activities are focused on social inclusion, skill development, and personal growth. Whether it’s through creative workshops, social events, or life skills training, our goal is to create opportunities for individuals to engage with their community, make friends, and build confidence.

 

Our services for people with learning disabilities include:

- Social groups and activities for building friendships and confidence development skills

- Creative and leisure activities that promote engagement and are fun

- Life skills sessions that foster independence and practical knowledge

- Support with transitions to employment or further education

 

We believe that everyone, regardless of ability, should have the chance to enjoy fulfilling lives, and we’re committed to creating inclusive spaces where people with LD can thrive.
