“It’s restored my faith in humanity knowing that there’s support out there for vulnerable people like me and I’m going to do some volunteering to show my appreciation.”
Wellbeing Exeter is a strategic alliance of public, voluntary and community sector organisations who have come together to explore better ways of supporting the 40% of patients who visit their GP with socially based rather than medical problems.
We are piloting a particular approach to social prescribing, in combination with asset-based community development to provide firm foundations to enable individuals and communities to improve and promote their own health and wellbeing.
The Wellbeing Exeter programme takes inspiration from the 5 Ways to Wellbeing framework, as set out by the New Economic Foundation. It suggests five elements as contributing to mental wellbeing.
This document describes the Wellbeing Exeter project developed by Integrated Care Exeter alliance, and sets out a case for continued investment and expansion.
