Creating a new resource to support social prescribing in the UK

No one should ever be alone.
This has always been a guiding principle behind Forward with Dementia.

Whether you have just been diagnosed, you are a carer or a healthcare professional you need support, of the right kind in the right place.

Our new Social Prescribing tool

The new area of the site designed specifically for Social Prescribers across the UK will soon be live. In creating it we were certainly not alone.
We simply cannot create this free resource for anyone living with dementia, or caring for those who do, without support of the community.

To those who we owe an enormous amount of gratitude

This time around, we wanted to build on top of the articles and stories we have to advise healthcare professionals, people living with dementia and carers to create a new resource. Who better to ask than those working in the field of Social Prescribing and people who call upon those services. Here are just a few, but we wanted to say huge thanks to all of those who took part in the research, design guidance and formation of the right advice.
