Evidence Supporting the voluntary, community, faith and social enterprise sector to evaluate social prescribing

September 2023

This briefing and rapid scoping review helps identify and collate existing resources that aim to support the evaluation of social prescribing activities. 

A total of 74 potential resources were identified and reviewed, with 61 meeting the inclusion criteria for this scoping review.

•  The review did not find strong demand for another evaluation toolkit, given the large number of existing resources.
• The review did find a need for clear signposting to trusted resources and identified potential solutions to shared challenges when evaluating social prescribing activities.
