CVS Brent are organising the first event on social prescribing in Brent on June 18th from 10am to 2pm at The Yellow, 1 Humphry Repton Lane, Wembley HA9 0GL.

Social prescribing, sometimes referred to as community referral, is a means of enabling GP practices and others to signpost people to a range of local, non-clinical activities which are typically provided by voluntary and community sector organisations. Examples include arts activities, gardening, lunch clubs, a range of sports and exercise, volunteering and classes.

The workshop aims to gain a better understanding of social prescribing models and bring all sectors together to discuss opportunities in Brent.

We will provide opportunities to:

• Start a discussion about Social Prescribing in Brent;
• Learn about other Social Prescribing models;
• Discuss opportunities and implications;
• Agree a way forward for Social Prescribing in Brent.
  

Chair: Cllr Krupesh Hirani (Lead Member for Public Health, Culture and Leisure)

Doors open at 9.45, the event starts at 10am and will be followed by a networking lunch at 1-2pm.
