Colour your Life is a ‘social prescribing’ programme, which links
people with non-medical sources of support from within the community.

The service is open to referrals from GP's, mental health services, third sector/community organisations and agencies, informally by family members or friends, and by self-referral. Please get in touch with any of the hubs to find out more.
