Barnet Wellbeing Hub

A Social Prescribing Gateway

The Barnet Wellbeing Hub offers a single point of access to the Social Prescribing Gateway - connecting individuals with a wide range of community-based services and activities designed to improve mental health and overall wellbeing.

Social prescribing is a proven, evidence-based approach that empowers people to take control of their health by addressing non-medical factors such as isolation, stress, and lifestyle. Research shows that it can significantly reduce anxiety, improve mood, and enhance quality of life.

At the Hub, we take a holistic, person-centred approach tailored to your individual needs. Through an Emotional Health Check, a wellbeing-focused equivalent of a physical health MOT, we help you explore your current challenges and identify meaningful goals. Our trained Wellbeing Navigators then work with you to co-create a personalised wellbeing plan, guiding you toward the most appropriate services and activities to support your journey.

How does it work?

When you reach out to the Barnet Wellbeing Hub, you’ll be welcomed by a friendly member of our Wellbeing Navigation Team, who will guide you through the first steps of accessing support. We’re here to create a warm, inclusive space where you can explore services, discover local activities, and connect with resources that support your wellbeing.

Our trained Wellbeing Navigators work with you to understand your unique needs and goals. Through an Emotional Health Check, a wellbeing-focused version of a GP’s health check, we help you reflect on your current emotional state and identify areas where support may be beneficial.

This process is part of our Social Prescribing approach, an evidence-based method that links people to non-clinical services in their community. Proven to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and enhance overall wellbeing, social prescribing empowers you to take control of your health in a way that’s holistic, personalised, and sustainable.
