Between May 2021 and June 2022 we ran a social prescribing project called ‘NOW’ - a programme of activities helping to support those living with anxiety, depression, loneliness or mental health issues.

It was funded by the National Academy for Social Prescribing and Arts Council England’s pioneering ‘Thriving Communities Fund'

 

We worked with three delivery partners: Jack Drum Arts, TCR The Hub and UTASS. 

 

Over the course of the programme, our partners delivered more than 130 activity sessions including canoeing, nature walks, dancing, filmmaking, creative writing, arts, and crafts, helping with community events and sometimes just getting together for a cup of tea and chat.
