Social prescribing is a way for local agencies to refer people to a Community Connector. Community Connectors give people time, focusing on ‘what matters to me’ and taking a holistic approach to people’s health and wellbeing. They connect people to community resources and services for practical and emotional support.

Community Connectors will collaborate to develop wellness goals and provide ongoing support tailored to individual needs, helping to achieve desired outcomes. They can provide information, advice, guidance, and support, as well as assist with accessing a range of services that meet individual needs.

  • Support to make positive changes in your life
  • Someone to talk to about how you are feeling
  • Help with housing, benefits and financial issues
  • Physical activity and recreation
  • Art, music and creative activities
  • Access specialist services and support
  • Support to problem solve and work through challenges in your life

  • Feel lonely or isolated
  • Are caring for someone
  • Are feeling low, stressed or down
  • Want to get more active
