Project Introduction
Forum's Community Navigators work with individuals to improve their health, wellbeing and social networks
Based in community settings across Hull, the team provide one-to-one, face-to-face support to help people find activities in their area. They can link people with advice, mental health services, healthy lifestyle activities, volunteer opportunities and more. They work in a holistic way that takes into account individuals' needs, goals and existing networks.
"The Social Prescriber has taken time out to help me and I really appreciate that. I don't feel as if they and the service gets enough credit because they are fabulous."
