Increasing nature-based activity providers’ participation in green social prescribing

Defra intends to commission research to improve understanding of nature-based activity providers’ participation in green social prescribing, including barriers and enablers for success, to support cross-government policy to roll out and scale up this intervention.

The project will explore current challenges and solutions and identify examples of good practice including in relation to link workers and other referral pathways; providers’ capacity, skills and training requirements; access to appropriate green spaces; funding and wider sustainability; and data collection processes and information flows.
