They deliver a range of public and commissioned retreats and wellbeing walks across England and Wales which have full counselling and coaching support with qualified professionals who walk alongside individuals to provide support.

    An example of non-healthcare settings playing a crucial role in advancing social prescribing at a hyper-local level, through hosting link workers in community settings.

    The Belgrade Theatre Coventry

    The Belgrade Theatre's approach to providing social prescribing drop in sessions is an innovation in the sector, where spaces are currently reserved for activity rather than providing a space to connect people to the potential of activity. The Belgrade Theatre approach supports individuals to understand the role of link workers and what social prescribing can offer to them, in a relaxed and safe environment that supports the breaking down of barriers for individuals who may feel unable to currently access social prescribing through a more clinical route.
