Impact findings: there has been a wealth of evidence gathered over the last four years of the government-funded “Preventing and tackling mental ill health through green social prescribing” test and learn programme. Now the official funding-period has ended, we can share the quantitative evidence gathered (the statistics – numbers of people taking part, their demographic data and the positive impact on wellbeing and mental health.) In addition a wealth of qualitative evidence has been provided, and we thank all of the staff, volunteers and participants who have been involved in providing stories, case studies and images (and in some cases agreeing to be filmed!) and you can see more detail below.
Statistical summary: below is a summary of the main statistical findings from the four-year green social prescribing programme. You can see reports of the data collected from participants in South Yorkshire by clicking on the buttons below.
