Discover Brightlife

Our connections with people are at the core of everything we do… Even a smile, a good morning or a nod of the head from a stranger can lift our spirits on a grey and dreary day. But what if it was your job to help cheer someone up? To help them reconnect with the world, and find a purpose? That’s the role of Brightlife’s Social Prescribers. They find those who need a helping hand, listen to what they have to say and find the right answer for them - for their interests, for their locality and their passions. During this episode of Discover Brighlife we meet Katherine Hussey and Chris McMahon from the social prescribing team. We hear some of the things that have shocked and surprised them, and how their expectations have changed from when the project first began. Brightlife is part of the National Lottery funded Ageing Better programme set up by the Big Lottery Fund to help combat social isolation and loneliness. Visit BrightlifeCheshire.org.uk
