These quotes describe what Social Prescribing at Bromley Y achieved:

Before I came to Bromley Y, I had nothing for myself.

Now I am doing things I want to be doing. It has helped me move on and be happy with how I am living.

-Quote from Ivy

I am a lot more positive and have learnt to move on from things that made me feel low. Now I am optimistic for the future and can let life take me where it is supposed to take me rather than worrying about it.

-Quote from Oliver

Helen would always say don’t worry what is all the way over there you can’t control it, just worry about now and that’s what I am doing.

-Quote from Olivia

I have started college. I used to hate waking up in the morning but now I have a job which is what I really wanted. I have got more things to do and focus on instead of thinking ‘oh everything’s awful’. I have got things to put my energy into.

-Quote from George

I used to be very indecisive but having Helen there to listen to me helped me make decisions. It wasn’t that she told me what to do, but she guided me to help me make my own choices.

-Quote from Freya

I am more hopeful, happier and not as worried. I feel like I can relax and enjoy things and not live for the sake of living. When I left there I was on my own but I have had all the help that is needed … I can go out into the world on my own and it’s all good!

-Quote from Lily

Our NEW social prescribing service is one of the first in Bromley for young people. We help thousands of young people each year and hundreds of thousands since we started in 1965. We also offer services within the community and schools to ensure accessibility.

Donate Now

Many young people need extra support after, or instead of, therapy to re-engage with the community, and our social prescribing service provides just that, offering a holistic approach to wellbeing and community involvement.

Donate Now

We can provide mentors for six months to a year, and our social prescribing wellbeing practitioner for up to 12 weeks, to focus on their emotional health, self-esteem, and help them create a personal plan for a hopeful future.
