Since August 2021 Communities 1st has provided a free inclusive, regional space to share learning, development and networking opportunities to build your world around social prescribing.
This network is for anyone with an interest or investment in the social prescribing movement. We support members to grow their understanding of social prescribing, build their own local networks and learn more about how to develop their local social prescribing offer.
See below to access our back catalogue of monthly E-newsletters where we shared important updates, resources, advice and news on the latest developments, funding support and networking opportunities. Each one is a micro resource bank for the social prescribing movement.

Discover more about Social Prescribing in the East of England:
Social prescribing is a means of enabling GPs, nurses and other health and care professionals to refer people to a range of local, non-clinical services. Social prescribing connects people up to practical and emotional community support through the use of Social Prescribing Link workers (SPLW) and local infrastructure agencies.
Thriving Communities is a National Support Programme for voluntary, community, faith and social enterprise groups working alongside existing local infrastructure agencies and Social Prescribing Link Workers. Communities 1st delivers the regional programme in the East of England.
