One to one support
Deb was very caring, helpful and friendly and professional. She has given me lots of information and help and made me feel positive about my life and future.
Our Community Wellbeing Champions (CWC's) can provide personalised support to help you make positive changes to take control of your health and wellbeing.
Helping you make changes
CWC's can listen to your story and give you support to join local services such as exercise classes and social groups.
They can also work one-to-one to help you set health-related goals and support you to make sustainable changes.
This service is free of charge and is open to eligible patients in GP practices in Bedford Borough or Central Bedfordshire.
The team has been like the guide rails at the bowling, not doing it for me, not pushing me but just being there alongside to guide me.
How to get help
Bedford Borough and Central Bedfordshire
If you live in Bedford Borough or Central Bedfordshire you can self-refer by contacting us.
Social Prescribing
Our One to One Support service is often also referred to as Social Prescribing by doctors and other health related professionals.
Social Prescribing allows doctors or other medical staff to refer their patients to non-medical services.
These services are often run by charities like us, with the aim of helping people to take greater control of their own health and wellbeing.
Alex was empathic and patient right from the start. I felt completely supported and encouraged, and much changed for the better thanks to the positive experience of working with him.
