Join Our New Social Prescribing System: Joy!

In today's fast-paced world, taking care of our mental and physical health has never been more important. Recognising this need and the invaluable role the VCSEF sector plays in supporting this we are keen to invite you to join our new social prescribing system: Joy.

What is Joy?

Joy is an innovative initiative aimed at promoting health and wellbeing in our communities and is designed to connect individuals with local activities and resources that can enhance their quality of life. Through Joy, you can register your activities for free, making it easy for participants to find opportunities that resonate with their interests and needs. Whether you run a fitness class, community workshop, art therapy session, or any other health-focused activity, Joy is the perfect platform for you to share your offerings.

Exciting Bonus Opportunity – There’s still time to get involved!

Due to the success of the programme so far last month we launched a new bonus payment of £40 to new VCSEF groups and organisation who register their activities by the end of September. This incentive is our way of encouraging community involvement and ensuring that a wide range of activities are available for individuals looking to improve their wellbeing. Don't miss out on this fantastic opportunity to make a positive impact while earning a little extra in the process!

Free 'Find Out More' Sessions

Not sure where to start? No problem! Joy Medway’s Project Manager Mark is hosting a series of free 'find out more' sessions to provide you with all the information you need to get involved with Joy. These sessions will equip you with the tools and knowledge to register your activities and make the most of Our Jo platform. We can come to you, or you can visit us—whatever suits you best!

Social prescribing is a powerful way to foster community connections, bring Medway people together and promote healthier lifestyles. By joining Joy, you'll not only enhance your own wellbeing but also contribute to the health of others in your area.
