Social Prescribing

A new Social Prescribing Service, led by Darlington Borough Council and delivered by Age UK, Mind, Darlington Association for Disability and the 700 Club is now operational. Individuals can be referred on to the service by any health professional (GP, Community Psychiatric Nurse, Health visitor, etc) for a non-medical intervention designed to increase well-being.
Responding to Begging

Begging is an issue in many town and cities, including Darlington. Beggars can intimidate and emotionally blackmail members of the public, and for retailers standing outside their premises, they can be disruptive of trade. The message from Police, Local Authority and the Voluntary Sector is please don't give.
