Social Prescribing Day 26th March 2026

On Social Prescribing Day, we celebrate the powerful impact that community‑based support has on people’s health and wellbeing across our PCN. Social prescribing helps residents access activities, groups, and practical support that address the social factors affecting their health. This approach recognises that issues like loneliness, housing, finances, and mental wellbeing often require more than a clinical solution.

Our Mental Health Navigators team provides Social Prescribing across the Tunbridge Wells Primary Care Network. They take time to understand what matters to individuals and connect them to local resources - from social groups to volunteering, arts, learning, and wellbeing activities. This personalised, holistic support helps people become more active in their communities, make new connections, and build confidence.

Today is an opportunity to recognise the link workers, volunteers, community organisations, and healthcare teams across West Kent whose dedication strengthens the local social prescribing ecosystem. Their work helps ensure that support is accessible, compassionate, and genuinely tailored to each person’s needs.

Social Prescribing Day reminds us that community is medicine—and in West Kent, that medicine is thriving.
