  • 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.
