In this episode we hear Linda's story. Her life was turned upside down after losing her husband, she had barely left home without him for decades. An avid traveller, she was just beginning to find her feet, and take solo trips abroad when COVID-19 trapped her inside.
Linda found out about ‘Walk and Talk’ along Fleetwood seafront through a local Social Prescriber – Wendy. Wendy persuaded her to go along on the walk and soon she was out every week.
It’s normal to be nervous to try something new. But there are social prescribers like Wendy to walk with you every step of the way and people like Linda to welcome you when you get there. If you need support, speak to your local GP surgery about social prescribing in your area. It might even change your life.
