Community Links Volunteers support social prescribing by:
Talking to residents in GP practices and other community settings and signposting to community-based activities
Promoting healthy activities and lifestyle
Providing ‘chat and link’ support to residents who need more time to connect with social and community activity, or to residents waiting for other health services
Helping out as Covid Test Buddies and Vaccine Centre Stewards, and joining up as Camden Health Champions to promote other local initiatives
As a Community Links Volunteer you will receive training and support to develop your knowledge and skills. You will gain valuable insights into the changing health environment, and experience that can help professional development or put your existing skills to great use! Many of our volunteers have progressed into health-related training and employment.
