This page hosts the resources produced from the Green Social Prescribing Test and Learn National Evaluation.
The Preventing and Tackling Mental Ill Health through Green Social Prescribing Project (GSP Project) was a two year £5.77 million cross-governmental initiative that ran across seven test and learn pilot sites in England (for details see below). The aim of the pilots was to develop the integrated systems and processes relating to the use of nature-based settings and activities to promote wellbeing and improve mental health. The project tested how to embed Green Social Prescribing to:
- Develop best practice in making green social activities more resilient and accessible.
- Improve mental health outcomes.
- Reduce health inequalities.
- Reduce demand on the health and social care system.
