One of many highlights of my day today was seeing our social prescribing service users shine and take their moment to tell the world how amazing they are. Proud doesn't come close 😊
Get your walking boots on and get down to the #GMWalkingFestival on Saturday 28th May.
If you can't make it be sure to check out the new GM Ringway - a fantastic new walking trail for Greater Manchester.
Great to see that more people are spending time in nature, though there is still more needed to ensure access to nature is equitable. People who can benefit from nature the most still have least access to it.

A great start to the morning we've been joined for the day by Simon from Wavehill who is doing the @NASPTweets evaluation program and to kick it off we've joined the exercise group and are now on a sunny urban walk with the ladies from @KYPRochdale@petrus_cmty@easternhammer
I'm looking forward to speaking about the Green Social Prescribing Programme happening in #greatermanchester later this afternoon at the International #socialprescribing Conference.
Still time to attend the packed agenda lined up for this afternoon:

Recognising medicine alone wasn’t the answer to Louise’s complex condition @AltHealthAllPCN #socialprescribing#linkworker supported her to join an allotment group - digging, growing, building to feel part of something bigger https://t.co/bxggalaDUD
