Green spaces and the impact on cognitive frailty
Some literature indicates that contact with green spaces can benefit health and wellbeing, but it is unclear whether this is protective of cognitive health in older people. Using Arskey and O’Malley’s framework the aim was to investigate ageing, cognitive frailty and the effects of green access including any causality. The evidence was somewhat inconsistent but suggestive for a beneficial role of green space exposure on cognitive functions. Resul…
A Qualitative Exploration of the Role of Culturally Relevant Social Prescribing in Supporting Pakistani Carers Living in the UK
BACKGROUND: Approximately 5.7 million people in the UK are providing informal care. Carers across all ethnic groups can experience negative impacts on their physical and mental health but some minority ethnic groups face greater challenges. Higher levels of social isolation exist among Pakistani carers compared to White British carers, yet the needs of Pakistani carers and how well support services meet these needs is less well understood. Social…
Mapping Community‐Based Services for Social Prescribing for Children and Young People Living with Obesity across South Yorkshire
Background . High numbers of young people are living with obesity in England, with associated negative impacts on their mental and physical health. Social prescribing involves professionals referring individuals to community‐based services to provide additional health and well‐being support. Social prescribing may be a helpful way to provide holistic support to young people living with obesity alongside weight management services. However, there …
The Distinctiveness of Smaller Voluntary Organisations Providing Welfare Services
This article presents empirical findings about the distinctiveness of smaller voluntary sector organisations (VSOs) involved in welfare service provision, based on in-depth, qualitative case study research. We identify a series of organisational features and practices which can mean that smaller VSOs are distinctive from larger organisations. These include how they are governed and managed, their approach to their work, and their position relativ…
The ethical dilemmas of foodbanking
This article contributes to debates about the ethicality of foodbanks, a pervasive element of the UK welfare support infrastructure. Drawing on qualitative interview data, we use the concepts of ‘food poverty knowledge’ and ‘lay morality’ to analyse the narratives of those running a major Trussell Trust ‘foodbank-plus’ programme and explore inherent moral sentiments therein about how those who are in food poverty are understood. We identify a con…
Re-making state-civil society relationships during the Covid 19 pandemic? An English perspective
People, Place and Policy is an online journal providing a forum for academic debate around issues of urban policy, social and economic regeneration, housing and the labour market. Articles deal with the situations and experiences of people and places struggling to negotiate the opportunities, constraints and risks within contemporary society
A Comparative Analysis of Social Impact Bond and Conventional Financing Approaches to Health Service Commissioning in England
We compare two social prescribing interventions in Northern England. One was financed through a Social Impact Bond (SIB) and the other was financed in a more conventional way. We utilise a comparative approach to understand the extent to which different approaches to financing social prescribing conform to key features of the New Public Management (NPM) or New Public Governance (NPG) in their design and implementation. We find that a SIB approach…
Evaluating social innovations and their contribution to social value
Social innovation is viewed as a solution to developing new services that address complex needs and create ‘social value’, but what constitutes social value and how to measure it is contested. Drawing on a case study of a social prescribing pilot, this paper provides an example of how social value can be evaluated to support decisions by commissioners of socially innovative interventions. It argues that social value presents an epistemological an…
