How can a Community Link Worker support you?

Often referred to as Social Prescribing, your Healthcare
Professional refers you to a Community Link Worker who
can signpost you to a range of free local community groups,
activities and services that provide practical, social or
emotional support. At the first appointment, your Link
Worker will work closely with you on a one-to-one basis.
They will listen to you, support you to make plans and
help you choose what will work for you to improve your
wellbeing, keeping you in control.

By signposting you to services in your local community, you will benefit from:

• Finding out what’s happening locally and meet new people
• Support with your money worries
• Support to continue/take up new hobbies and interests
• Support to improve your general health and wellbeing
• Reduction in isolation and loneliness
• Learning new skills and/or get into work
