The National Academy for Social Prescribing (NASP), National Association for Voluntary and Community Action (NAVCA) and Spirit of 2012 have produced a new toolkit for Social Prescribing Link Worker host organisations, with a particular focus on hosting in the Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) sector. It aims to help Primary Care Networks (PCNs) and host organisations establish, develop and maintain a sustainable and effective social prescribing scheme in a local area.
