This is a way of linking patients in primary care with sources of support within the community. It provides GPs with a non-medical referral option that can operate alongside existing treatments to improve health and well-being.

There are many organisations in the local community that may be just what you are looking for.  Please see the Connect To Support Hampshire website for more information regarding what your community can offer.

Started in January 2017, this allotment in Hook gives patients the opportunity to help themselves improve their mental and physical health by being outdoors, being part of a team with the same goals and being active.

If you feel you would benefit from spending some time at our allotment in Hook, please speak to your GP.

Whether you are feeling lonely, or are looking to become physically active but need help with motivation, want support with building your confidence or want to find out how to take part in activities in your community, then the British Red Cross can help.

For further information please call Chloe Walters on 07885 804254 or visit connectnorthhants@redcross.org.uk
