Do you need support and think Spring can help? We'd love to hear from you. Click here:
Please note:
The Spring Social Prescribing programme will not be renewed after its current tenure in 2027. Although this news is disappointing, we want to assure you that we are still operating our support services normally and that we are continuing to take referrals onto the programme until the 31st of July 2026. All participants accepted on to the programme up until this time will continue to receive the excellent 12-month support that has been offered to date.
We are committed to continuing to support people with long term conditions across Northamptonshire to achieve positive outcomes for the remainder of the contract and we thank you for your support on our Spring journey.

How does Spring work?
Our approach to health and wellbeing is different. Watch the video to find out more:
Our link workers will help you to work out
what you want from life.
​
They then support you to
take control of your own health and wellbeing,
so you can make your aspirations a reality.
Through a six to 12-month programme, our link workers will put you in touch with all the support services you need.
We stay close at hand to help ensure you progress comfortably.
Along the way, our link workers connect you with others in
the community, along with groups and activities to keep you inspired.
With their help, these new
and enriching habits will soon be second nature.
Read about our Spring participants' journeys:
Elizabeth
Elizabeth was referred to Spring because she was struggling to manage her own health and well-being whilst caring for her husband who had a recent diagnosis of Alzheimer’s Disease. Elizabeth felt isolated, overwhelmed, and unsure where to turn for help.
Elizabeth’s Link Worker spent time listening to what really mattered to her, what her interests were and what kind of support she felt she needed, she suggested a referral to Northamptonshire Carers Support Service to connect her and her husband to other people with similar experiences. Elizabeth also talked about how she used to really enjoy swimming and socialising with friends.
​
Elizabeth tells us that she will continue to access help from Spring in the future and that the changes she has made with support from her Link Worker have been amazing: her husband is enjoying social groups and support from Northants Carers, she has made friends with people in a similar position, and become part of a supportive network which she really enjoys. Elizabeth now also goes swimming a few times a week which has helped her to better manage her own health and well-being.
We're proud to have supported over
1,000
people!
