Posters for new Macmillan pilot in Middlesbrough
A new pilot scheme is underway in Middlesbrough to provide financial support for patients diagnosed with cancer. Led by Macmillan, the initiative has already helped 37 patients access grants and financial reviews.
Promotional posters are currently on display in locations across the town, including the train station and social media channels. Organisations are encouraged to support the campaign by displaying posters in relevant areas to help raise awareness among patients.
There is hope that the scheme will soon be extended across the wider North East region.

South Tees Social Prescribing Business Case
As Social prescribing is beginning to get more and more air time in terms of meetings, events and publications here at MVDA we thought it might be of interest to share with you some of our early thinking that shaped the development of the South Tees Social Prescribing Business Case which we developed way back in 2014/15.
However, it is fair to say that this thinking is still the basis of social prescribing in general and we hope you find this information helpful and useful. The information includes:
