🌿 Join us for the launch of the 2026 Revised Edition of the Green Social Prescribing Toolkit

🕛Online webinar, 30th September, 12 - 1PM

Drawing on lessons from the National Cross-Government Green Social Prescribing Programme to Tackle and Prevent Mental Ill-health, this updated toolkit is designed for those working at a strategic and systems level to embed green social prescribing within health systems.

During the webinar, you'll hear from Programme Managers who will share their experiences, successes, challenges and learning from implementation across England, alongside NASP and Natural England on national priorities and next steps.

The GSP toolkit is aimed at those working towards system change to make Green Social Prescribing part of healthcare provision. The revised toolkit includes:
🔹Updated case studies and lessons learnt from the programme's extension phase around how the test and learn sites built relationships between the health and environmental sectors
🔹referral pathways for different client groups
🔹embedded GSP in strategies, and secured commissioning.
The revised Toolkit will be published shortly, so you can bring your feedback and questions to the webinar.

📅 Register today and discover the latest learning from one of England's most significant green social prescribing initiatives.
