Empowering Communities Through Social Prescribing

At Inspiring Communities Together, we believe that true health goes beyond medical treatment—it’s about connection, support, and empowerment. Social prescribing is at the heart of our approach, focusing on holistic well-being by linking individuals with services and activities that promote mental, physical, and emotional health.
Social prescribing connects people with local resources, from support groups to physical activities, and everything in between. Whether it’s joining a walking group, learning new skills, or finding community-based support networks, social prescribing helps individuals take control of their health journey in meaningful ways.
Our work has been deeply embedded in Salford’s vibrant communities since 2014. Through our diverse programs, we provide safe spaces where people can connect, share experiences, and build resilience. We’ve seen firsthand how these programs help people find new purpose, break free from isolation, and enhance their overall well-being.
One of our community members shared:
“Before joining the group, I felt really isolated. Now, I have a new sense of belonging, and my confidence has grown so much.”
This is just one of many success stories that highlight the power of social prescribing in transforming lives.
