Aims of the service
Our aim is to connect people to services and activities in their community in order to benefit overall health and wellbeing.
We believe that everyone can live a fulfilled life, however, sometimes people need help to achieve this.
Feeling linked to your community has lots of health and wellbeing benefits that support resilience, independence and good physical and mental health.
So, if practical or emotional problems are stopping you feeling your best, Linking Leeds can help you get them sorted.
Our Wellbeing Coordinators are based within GP practices providing one-to-one support over the phone and face to face. Community outreach from GP surgeries and other community locations is undertaken as appropriate.
Who We Work With
The Linking Leeds Social Prescribing service operates out of Community Links which has lead a consortium of local partners to deliver this service from the 1st of September 2019, commissioned by NHS Leeds CCG. Our partnership has more than ten years of collective experience delivering Social Prescribing to the people of Leeds. We work alongside Leeds City Council and Leeds GP Confederation.
