On 28th February 2015 we came to the end of our 6 month NHS social prescriptions pilot. Funded by NHS Tower Hamlets CCG, we worked with 5 GP surgeries, 3 care homes and 2 day care centres to deliver 16 therapeutic animal-handling and nature-based sessions to 86 Tower Hamlets’ residents aged 60+, exceeding our target by over 50%.
The project was a real success and we have learnt much from running it, which we are now keen to put to use developing the next stages of Furry Tales.
To find out about more about the project’s achievements, outcomes and lessons learned, read our final report and let us know what you think!
