This is a social prescribing platform, funded and delivered by Simply Connect Solutions.
At Simply Connect we’re on a mission to help you find local community services, activities and support that can really help you with whatever issue you’re struggling with at the moment.
Maybe you’re looking to meet new people - or get some advice or support for a friend or family member? Or you might be wanting to find out about exercise or social clubs, or how to get involved in a local charity?
Community services can provide specialist support too on a range of topics, such domestic abuse, helping to manage your finances, housing issues or bereavement support.
Whatever it is you’re looking for, there’s something for you.
You can find details of local services and support, share information with family and friends, or bookmark and print out service information.
The local Simply Connect Medway team can help you to find out what issues you’re struggling with, and refer you into local support services that can help you.
This is known as a social prescribing service, and is something that NHS England have recently funded as an extension of the services provided by your local GP.
These workers (along with other health and social care professions) can help you access non-medical services that can really help you with whatever issue you are experiencing, that doesn’t necessarily need a medical intervention. This could be specialist support such as managing your health condition, bereavement support, keeping active or counselling services.

Maybe you want to work with animals, help the homeless, or get involved in a fundraising event - whatever it is, there is someone out there who needs your help.
