March 26th 2026 is National Social Prescribing Day.
In the spirit of Social Prescribing the Kendal Primary Care Network are going to be sharing information this week on Wellbeing 👇

What are the 5 ways to wellbeing?

The New Economics Foundation created 5 ways to wellbeing. They're based on evidence and research that shows the links between our health and our wellbeing.

It essentially suggests that if we improve our wellbeing - our health can only benefit positively!

Kendal's Social Prescribers believes that to be a win win!

Can you do anything to help your wellbeing this week?
