We are delighted to announce that Global Social Prescribing Day will take place on Saturday, 27th March 2027!
Since its launch by the UK Secretary of State for Health and Social Care in 2021, the Global Social Prescribing Alliance has grown into a powerful international movement. This year, we are proud to launch our first dedicated annual weekend celebration to make it easier for communities, volunteers, practitioners, and organisations worldwide to get involved.
As we amplify the message **“Community is Medicine,”**Global Social Prescribing Day is an opportunity for everyone around the world to:
- Share ideas
- Showcase innovation
- Highlight the evidence and impact
- Celebrate the link workers, volunteers, and community partners who change lives every day
What is Social Prescribing? Social prescribing connects people to non-medical, community-based support—such as arts, gardening, debt advice, or physical activity—to address underlying health and wellbeing needs that medicine alone cannot treat. How to Get Involved: Whether you’re planning a local community event, attending a Parkrun, hosting a webinar, releasing new research, or sharing inspiring stories:
- Register Your Event or Activity: Let us know what you have planned via our Social Prescribing Day 2027.
- Make Some Noise: Share your stories and local impact on social media using #GlobalSocialPrescribingDay.
- Spread the Word: Use the attached official logo and promotional materials across your networks.
Stay tuned for more updates including global partners, featured activities, and resources!
