Have you heard about Social Prescribing?

Social Prescribing was introduced locally in 2017. The concept is to work alongside people to connect them with groups and community resources to help combat social isolation and to promote wellbeing. GPs and other clinicians can refer patients for social prescribing, or individuals can self refer. Some of our Night Light guests first came to us following attending being suggested to them by their social prescriber. The work of Social Prescribers also has similarities with the role of the Night Light Café volunteers who are trained to provide signposting advice to guests to help them to build their own support network and find assistance with any specific needs they might present with.  

I recently had a chat with Gillian, a local social prescriber, to find out more about her job.
