Woking Social Prescribing Service
Spelthorne Borough Council
Social prescribing supports you to take better control over their health and improve their general wellbeing.
It aims to link residents, who have social, emotional or practical needs which cannot be addressed by a GP, to a wealth of different services within the borough.
You will be offered one to one appointments with a Social Prescribing Link Worker who will talk to you about your concerns and factors affecting your health. The adviser will then help to identify and organise suitable assistance via a network of services and local community and voluntary organisations.
Social Prescribing Link Workers can help you to access support in the following areas:
- remaining independent at home
- opportunities for social interaction
- practical help, such as cooking, transport, shopping
- physical activity
- benefits and budgeting advice
- housing options advice
- mental or emotional support
- support around a disability
The service is available to adults over 18 years old, who are registered with a Spelthorne GP surgery and experiencing non medical issues requiring additional support.
