💚 Green social prescribing and Active Travel social prescribing. Do you know what it is? 🤔 Well you can find out more here... We're a part of Active Travel England's, Active Travel Social Prescibing Pilot in a several areas across the UK including Bath and North East Somerset. 👟 Active travel social prescribing involves recommending or prescribing physical activities such as walking or cycling as a means of transportation to improve health and well-being. It's instead of relying solely on traditional modes of transportation like cars or public transport, individuals are encouraged to incorporate active travel daily routines. This approach promotes physical activity, reduces carbon emissions, and can lead to various health benefits such as improved cardiovascular health, weight management, and mental well-being. It's a holistic approach that integrates physical activity into everyday life, enhancing both personal health and environmental sustainability. 🌿 Green social prescribing involves the recommendation or referral of individuals to engage with nature-based activities or environments to improve their physical, mental, and social well-being. It acknowledges the therapeutic benefits of nature and encourages people to connect with the outdoors for health benefits. ❤️ This patient wellbeing approach helps to: improve mental health outcomes, reduce health inequalities and reduce demand on the health and social care system 💫 The Active Way with Bath & North East Somerset Council project starts with 26 hyper-local walking routes across communities like Midsomer Norton, Paulton, Radstock and more. We're workind to ensure that everyone can participate in the joy of walking, regardless of ability or background. Almost half of our trails have been designed to be flat without steps or stiles, inviting individuals of all ages and fitness levels to put on their shoes and join us on a new journey of exploration. Many of the routes start and end at community GP surgeries and healthcare facilities.
