As an educator, trustee for a mental health charity and volunteer project manager, Helen has come to realise the important role played by voluntary organisations and charities in promoting a healthy community. As a carer, Helen also values links to many different organisations in the community which provide information and support. For Helen, social prescribing is a way of improving the connectedness and therefore the health and wellbeing of every individual and promoting a thriving community. Helen currently focuses on the Community Wellness Outreach (CWO) project and has developed Give it a Go, a preventative six-week activity programme in partnership with GLL/Better, as a follow-on to CWO.
