Pin T Massageong Healthy Focus A Royal Prescription for Health

King Charles has long been an advocate of integrated health practices and social prescribing. An approach that connects people to activities, groups, and services in their community, meeting the practical, social and emotional needs that affect their health and wellbeing. Social prescribing is available to those aged 18 years and older across the whole of Shropshire. You can refer yourself by calling 0345 678 9028 Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm and select the self-referral option. Email healthylives@shropshire.gov.uk with the subject ‘Social Prescribing self-referral’, and you can ask for a referral at your GP practice.

The Shropshire Local Directory (accessible via Qubes shropshire-directory.co.uk) gives information on organisations throughout Shropshire to support you on a journey to better health. They also hold social clubs and courses in-house to bring the community together.

In line with the Kings support of the voluntary and volunteer sectors, ‘The Big Help Out’ will take place on Monday 8 May (thebighelpout.org.uk). Charity shops in Oswestry (Red Cross and Age UK) are offering retail taster sessions - contact the shops for more information.
