I picked up a leaflet about it in my surgery but it is specific to this area (Cornwall)I’d ask about it at your next GP appt as the GP had to sign a form to say I’d benefit from it. I’ve been offered 12 sessions with a personal trainer ( free)  followed by cut price gym membership ( £20 pm rather than £35) and also free pass to the Eden project where they organise walks for social interaction as well as fitness. There are also forest schools, gardening clubs, lots of different walking groups,  art groups, tons of stuff - I’m very impressed. I have an appointment to go back to the social prescribing nurse in 6 weeks to talk about progress, but to be honest most of the last appointment we spent talking about dogs! (Turns out we both have puppies about the same age) good luck with it.</blockquote>
