Accelerating Innovation in Social Prescribing

The Housing LIN is delighted to team up with the National Academy for Social Prescribing (NASP) (opens new window) to promote their programme, aimed to help national voluntary organisations from across multiple sectors particularly financial wellbeing, arts, nature and physical activity to work together alongside local communities to increase the scale and impact of social prescribing activities.

The Accelerating Innovation in Social Prescribing programme is led by the National Academy for Social Prescribing, Royal Voluntary Service and NHS England and NHS Improvement in partnership with others.

It will bring together a community of practice of national organisations to support their needs and drive innovation to help maximise their contribution to the growing social prescribing community. This will include developing good connections with local health and care and community groups, harnessing existing skills and assets, and sharing innovative best practice to grow the provision of social prescribing activities.

Register your interest in joining the Community of Practice (opens new window) by 3 October 2021.

We also look forward to hosting a HAPPI Hour event with NSAP in the New Year.
