IMPACT THEMES

CASE STUDY: Bridges Social Outcomes Fund, SPRING

Good Health and Well-being

Over 15 million people in the UK live with long- term health conditions, accounting for 70% of national NHS spending 14 . Services targeted at improving health and well-being for people with long-term health conditions have the potential to reduce both health inequalities, and the strain on public health and care services. Bridges Social Outcomes Partnership supported local authorities

and NHS bodies in Northamptonshire to pioneer a new social prescribing programme called SPRING, which works to create sustained lifestyle changes and improved self-care for people living with long-term health conditions. The service is now underway and social prescribing workers from four experienced delivery partners are supporting people to access specialist services.

SBSI NAV aligned to theme

An estimated £31billion in funding is needed to meet the UK’s rising demands for social care by 2030. Meanwhile between £3000-4000 is spent per person on healthcare annually 12 . SBSI invests in organisations providing health and care services and additional early intervention support to reduce both poor health outcomes and the strain on public health and care institutions. Crucially, SBSI’s portfolio tackles health inequalities in the UK, through a focus on local social organisations that tailor support for underserved and vulnerable people.

User Voice

The partnership gathers feedback from frontline staff so that they can track progress with participants and identify additional areas of support needed to address health concerns. Early on this process found that a high proportion of participants had acute mental health needs. In response the partnership put together a programme of “first aid mental health training” for staff.
