Thank you to everyone who is making today a special day. Big shout out to Portugal holding a sell out event.

The Social Prescribing Network Awards are back!

The Social Prescribing Network, College of Medicine and Chamberlain Dunn are once more collaborating to produce an event with 10 award categories to celebrate the dedication and hardwork people put into social prescribing. Among the awards this year will be Most Inspirational Service User.

Among the new awards for this year is the best Children, Young People and Family social prescribing scheme sponsored by Simply Connect

Thank you to Elemental who are supporting this event once again. They are sponsoring another new award, Link Worker of the Year.

Another thank you to TCV and National Lottery Community Fund who are sponsoring a third new award, specifically recognising the efforts of community organisations - Best Community-based Organisation in Social Prescribing.

Does your organisation want to be involved with this event? Contact Ali Dunn for more information.
