Norfolk and Waveney’s Sustainability and Transformation Partnership plans include the objective of developing Social Prescribing across Norfolk.
Through discussion with local partners in the Breckland District Council and King's Lynn and West Norfolk Borough Council areas (all of West Norfolk CCG and the Breckland part of South Norfolk CCG) Community Action Norfolk will be managing the delivery of Social Prescribing.
VCSE organisations took part in a competitive process to be selected as to be a provider under Social Prescribing. As a result of this process seven providers have been appointed. Each will employ one full time equivalent Living Well Connector. Connectors will work closely with colleagues in primary and social care to deliver Social Prescribing. Each provider has been allocated to a GP cluster. Providers will primarily support clients who live within that cluster however, all providers will work together to manage case loads and make use of the specialist expertise of each organisation. Providers and current cluster allocation:
