The National Academy for Social Prescribing has a simple ambition: we want people to live the best life they can. We want social prescribing to thrive – a vibrant, innovative and ambitious movement, mobilising thousands of people with a shared commitment to transforming lives.

Celebrating, supporting and sharing the work of thriving community groups. Thriving Communities is a new national support programme for voluntary, community, faith and social enterprise groups and organisations, supporting BAME communities impacted by COVID19 and health inequalities.

Working with partners, our Academic Partnership brings together leading researchers in the field of social prescribing to ensure that the evidence on social prescribing is accessible, useful and compelling.

We want social prescribing to thrive across the whole country – a vibrant, innovative and ambitious movement, connecting communities, and mobilising hundreds of thousands of people and organisations with a shared commitment to transforming lives.

We’re working with the World Health Innovation Summit (WHIS), the World Health Organisation (WHO) and United Nations Global Sustainability Index Institute (UNSGII) to establish a Global Social Prescribing Alliance which aims to spread the word of social prescribing globally.
