Linking Leeds is the integrated city-wide Social Prescribing service for people in Leeds. Barca-Leeds is proud to be a partner in the service, which aims to connect people to services and activities in their community in order to benefit overall health and wellbeing.
Social Prescribing is a way of linking individuals with a range of local community services to improve social, emotional and mental wellbeing. At Linking Leeds, we believe that everyone can live a fulfilled life, however, sometimes people need help to achieve this. Feeling linked to your community has lots of health and wellbeing benefits that support resilience, independence and good physical and mental health.
Our Wellbeing Coordinators are based within GP practices providing one-to-one support over the phone and face to face. Community outreach from GP surgeries and other community locations is undertaken as appropriate.
