“Groups, volunteering and other opportunities afforded by social prescribing give people a purpose, and show them that we all have something to offer to each other. People make friends when they engage in these programs and groups. When they do that, they encourage each other, they’re more likely to come to an exercise group or a cooking group. And it also means that they’re taking better care of themselves and their own health when they do, too.”
