Patrons
We warmly welcome our new patrons to the GL11 Community Hub community.
Dr Simon Opher
Simon is the Clinical Lead for Social Prescribing at NHS Gloucestershire CCG and says: “Social prescribing helps people who don’t necessarily need medical care, with GPs referring to community support and activities to help improve the individual’s wellbeing. It supports people with issues such as coping with caring responsibilities, loneliness and low level mental health issues through community-based activities which can have an immensely positive impact on people’s lives. GL11 Community Hub is doing great work with some of the most vulnerable people in our area, helping people to get involved, make friends and find dignity and purpose, I would like to see a hub like this in every community.’
