💙 Every day we see the difference our Social Prescribing team make in people’s lives…
From improving wellbeing and reducing loneliness to helping people feel more connected and supported, Social Prescribing can have a powerful impact—and it’s great to see this reflected in recent research too.
Our Social Prescribers take the time to listen and can support with things like:
✨ Connecting you to local groups and activities
✨ Support with loneliness or low mood
✨ Help with staying active and improving wellbeing
✨ Advice around finances, housing, or practical needs
✨ Support for carers
✨ Building confidence and finding purpose
It’s all about helping you find the right support for you 🤝
✅ How to access Social Prescribing:
• Ask for a referral from your GP practice team
• Or come and meet the team in person at Health on the High Street
📍 Alton Maltings
🕙 Every Wednesday, 10am–1pm
💬 Small steps can make a big difference—why not start with a chat?

Research has found that social prescribing is linked to improved wellbeing, happiness and life satisfaction, reduced anxiety - and an estimated £9 social return for every £1 invested!

🌍💙 Global Day of Parents 💙🌍
Today we celebrate all parents and caregivers, recognising the love, dedication, and support they give every day.
Parenting can be incredibly rewarding—but it can also come with its challenges. The good news is that there are lots of groups and support available in and around Alton, offering opportunities to connect, share experiences, and get advice when you need it.

You’re never alone on this journey 💙

We all want what’s best for our children — but parenting isn’t always easy.

Many parents and caregivers also struggle to make time for their own self-care.

On Monday’s Global Day of Parents, UNICEF shares tips on how caregivers can prioritize their mental health and well-being: https://www.unicef.org/parenting/mental-health/parent-self-care-tips

💛 Bladder Cancer Awareness Month 💛
This month, we’re raising awareness of a key symptom you shouldn’t ignore.
If you notice blood in your p*e — even just once — it’s important to contact your GP as soon as possible. It might be nothing serious, but getting it checked early could save your life.
Don’t put it off. Get it checked. ✅

👉 Follow us to stay up to date with local events, health tips, and community support near you!

Blood in your p*e is a warning sign.

It might look:
• Pink
• Red
• Brown or rusty
• Like streaks of blood

Even if you notice this just once, don’t ignore it. It could be a symptom of bladder cancer. Get it checked.

☀️ Sun’s Out This Bank Holiday Weekend!
We know it’s a bit of a surprise… sunshine on a bank holiday! 😄 But while you’re out enjoying it, don’t forget to protect yourself and your loved ones.
🧴 Remember: Slip, Slap, Slop, Slide, Seek
👕 Slip on a t-shirt
🧢 Slap on a wide-brimmed hat
🧴 Slop on sunscreen (SPF 30+ and reapply regularly)

🌳 Seek shade, especially between 11am–3pm
