  • Angling Trust

    The Angling Trust ‘Get Fishing for Wellbeing’ campaign is not only a great example of socially prescribed physical activity, but is also a strong example of organisations recognising the need for quality assurance of activity. The Angling Trust has developed a new mechanism for supporting Link Workers and Clinicians to understand the benefits of Angling, and to have confidence in the opportunities available.

  • DSUK are working to remove barriers to physical activity based social prescribing, and are working across the country to ensure that anyone with a disability, may it be learning, sensory or physical, can ski or snowboard alongside other people. They are currently working with both schools and social prescribing services to make accessible Snowsport available to children across the country, particularly exploring how accessible Snowsport can transform someone’s relationship with their disability, which may have wider mental health and wellbeing benefits.
