SIS, along with the other organisations in Social Prescribing Plus Partnership, are proud to announce that we have won this prestigious National Association of Linkworkers award.
This award recognises an outstanding collaborative social prescribing partnership that promotes health and reduces inequalities.
The judges said
The Social Prescribing Plus Partnership is a strong example of using social prescribing to address health inequalities and an inspiration for integrated social prescribing partnerships. The breadth of the partnership, the recruitment of Social Prescribing Link Workers with lived experience to reach people from minority groups, the focus on those groups that find it hardest to engage positively with conventional services, and the qualitative and quantitative evidence demonstrating the impact of this approach made them outstanding.
The SP+ partnership has been operating since 2018, its work is making a lasting change for individuals within marginalised communities and has a significantly expansive and long-term impact not only for that person, but also for their family and wider community. The full nomination is avaliable to read here. We are so proud that this important and innovative work is being nationally recognised.
