What a busy week we’ve had already! Our Whittaker Lane and Birches walks were wonderful enjoying some time walking outside in the sunshine and lots of new people joining our drop ins and walks! We’re looking forward to seeing you at some of our social prescribing activities next week.

This is our 4th year of producing our What’s on locally guide so we’ve had a revamp and listened to your feedback and its back with a refreshed format, our social prescribing activities, spotlights on some of our fabulous community groups in Prestwich and an activity page. We’d also like to give a big thanks to Lindsay, one of our social prescribing volunteers who pulls all the information together which we send to her from groups we’ve visited and spoken over the last few months. If you would like a paper copy they are available at our Church Lane drop in on Tuesdays between 1pm and 3pm.

We’ve had lots of people asking about benefits this week in light of the current changes and can support you with this, please get in touch if you are worried and we can arrange a one to one appointment with you. If you would like a one to one appointment for anything else that may be worrying you please get in touch
