Since social prescribing was included in the NHS Long Term Plan in 2019, its use has become widespread
Volunteer organisations across Lancashire and South Cumbria have been pushed to “crisis point” by the number of people being referred to them for support by the NHS.
The partnership – which is made up of local authorities, NHS organisations and VCFSE representatives themselves – has now agreed to become an early adopter of an initiative to create a “shared investment fund”, with the aim of ensuring a more structured and stable approach to funding organisations involved in putting social prescribing into practice.
Social prescribing referrals can be made to the likes of befriending initiatives, gardening groups, art classes and debt support agencies. The concept really took off after its inclusion in the NHS Long Term Plan back in 2019, since when more than 2.5 million people have been in contact with a social prescribing link worker nationwide.
Cllr Damian Talbot – integrated care partnership member and the cabinet member for public health, prevention and wellbeing at Blackburn with Darwen Council – said the growth in social prescribing had coincided with a spike in the number of people with “more and more complex significant mental health needs”
Ms. Niebieski, who has recently reviewed social prescribing across the region, said she found that the VCFSE sector was “on its needs…in trying to respond to onward referrals”.
