Support towards better health and happiness

At Volunteer Cornwall, our Project has dedicated Link Workers based within GP surgeries, to offer confidential, 1:1 support to patients referred from their GP or health care professional.
The patient is at the heart of our Service and has access to several appointments with the Link Worker over a six month period.

Social prescribing link workers can help alleviate feelings of loneliness and social isolation by connecting people to activities and advice in their communities and beyond.
