Introducing Our New Social Prescribers

We’re delighted to introduce our new Social Prescribers:

• Ceri Williams – North Powys
• Lynda Rogers – Mid Powys
• Helen Quinlan – South Powys

Our Social Prescribers offer person-centred support, helping people focus on what matters to them and make lasting changes for better health and wellbeing.

A More Joined-Up Approach to Community Wellbeing

Our Community Wellbeing Team has recently been remodelled to deliver a more coordinated service for people across Powys.

What’s Changed

Previously, support was provided by two separate services – the Powys Befriending Service and Community Connectors.

Now, these services have come together – along with our Social Prescribers – to form one integrated Community Wellbeing Team.

How the New Team Works

The new team works regionally in North, Mid, and South Powys, making it easier for people to find the right support quickly and easily – Community Wellbeing team

We’ve also introduced a single referral gateway for all enquiries, connecting people with the most suitable service and making access to support smoother than ever. 

This new approach places a stronger focus on social prescribing, in alignment with the Social Model for Health and Wellbeing.

We’ll be hosting an online event later this month where you can find out more. Watch this space for details
