Catch up on all the activity from the world’s first ever Social Prescribing UnCo!
“Wow! What a day! Our feet have just about touched the ground since returning home to Derry after our first, and certainly not our last, Social Prescribing UnCo in Manchester. The energy in the room was contagious, the speakers were inspiring and informative, and the delegates were engaged, energised and eager to network, learn and celebrate Social Prescribing. Our delegates led the agenda for UnCo and we couldn’t have asked for a better day, in a better community venue and as one of our delegates said ‘it’s nice to know we’re in this together.”
A huge thank you to our compere John Loughton, who had delegates laughing out loud due to his quick wit and ability to wake up a room through participation in an off-the-cuff dance routine. John took delegates on a journey through his life from when he was a young boy where his honest, endearing and emotional life story captured the hearts of delegates and set the scene for inspiration and established a shared vision for improving lives through social prescribing.
Andy Burnham, Mayor, Greater Manchester, took to the stage as our morning keynote, and talked about promoting people’s health over health services, how the third sector needs more support and how we should all champion social prescribing and lead by example for Manchester.
