Abstract
Social prescribing aims to help people access local, non-clinical services and activities provided by voluntary and community organisations to support their social, emotional, and practical needs. Interest in, and delivery of, social prescribing for young people across the UK is growing.
Research undertaken as part of a 15-month collaboration between the Institute of Community Research and Development (ICRD) at the University of Wolverhampton and the West Midlands Regional Economic Development Institute (WMREDI) sought to examine the need for and benefits of, social prescribing provision for young people in the West Midlands and its economic and employability impact.
This research digest forms part of an exploratory research project into social prescribing provision for young people in the West Midlands and its economic, and employability impact.
