Social Prescribing Service
Loneliness is fast becoming one of the greatest social challenges nationally and whilst often associated with older people who live on their own, it can affect anyone of any age and linked to issues such as obesity, smoking and can increase risk of dementia.
Our partners at Rushcliffe Primary Care Network (PCN) are focussing on how to combat loneliness and social isolation.
The Rushcliffe Social Prescribing Service run several initiatives across all of Rushcliffe with the aim to reduce social isolation for individuals.

Social Prescribing Directories
The Social Prescribing Team have put together a full, easy to understand, list of directories for health and social care conditions. Each one is filled with tips, links to websites offering help, and information about services offering support on the issue. View the health directories.
Rushcliffe Big Green Book
The Rushcliffe Big Green Book is a directory of nature-based activities and Green Spaces in Rushcliffe. The Big Green Book gives a wealth of local contacts and information to help groups and individuals find great new health and wellbeing opportunities on their doorstep in the Borough.
It features a range of activities such as walking routes, cycling and exercise groups, coffee meetups, wildlife and environmental links, gardening, allotment, food sharing and leisure opportunities at local waterways, parks and open spaces.
The Rushcliffe Big Green Book was developed with the support of the GreenSpace project at Nottingham Community Voluntary Service (CVS), and is now delivered in partnership with Rushcliffe Borough Council.
Community Wellbeing Fund
Our Community Wellbeing Fund is an initiative from Rushcliffe Borough Council designed to help support local initiatives that aim to tackle loneliness and social isolation.
We are now inviting town and parish councils, local groups and organisations to put forward proposals for setting up, sustaining or expanding projects that take innovative approaches to tackling loneliness within the Borough.
