Throughout 2021 and 2022 Greater Manchester was 1 of 7 test and learn sites in England working with the NHS to measure the effectiveness of Green Social Prescribing (GSP).
In total Greater Manchester partners delivered activities for over 8,000 referrals, often reaching populations underserved by social prescribing with 85% of patients offered GSP signed up.
Delivery partners included Sow the City, Petrus, Salford CVS and Lancashire Wildlife Trust, who were supported by City of Trees, RHS and Groundwork Greater Manchester. Well done to all those involved with #GMNatureforHealth!
