My work as an artist, facilitating and supporting Arts on Referral sessions is incredibly rewarding. What are these sessions and how can you find out more?
To discover workshops and activities in your area, a good starting point is to speak to a social prescribing link worker.
Contacting your GP / medical care team, or, searching online using the search ‘social prescribing’ should bring useful results.
