The latest edition of the Beacon Box
This pack gives me something to do that I can enjoy each month. My favourite part is the book reviews, I’ve read books I wouldn’t usually read and have really enjoyed them and I’ve been able to read some of the children’s books with my grandchildren”
The Beacon Service at Bury VCFA provide a social prescribing service offering a totally person centred approach to anyone aged over 18 and registered with a Bury GP. The Beacon Service recognise that everyone is unique and has their own individual needs and make sure the support you receive is completely personal to you helping to improve your health and wellbeing.
There are lots of community groups, activities and events available locally and they know that many of you are looking forward to getting involved with things in your communities, but they also know it can be difficult to access and join in for many different reasons.
That’s where they can help you. It’s very important to them to listen to your concerns and support you to access relevant activities, groups, services and organisations which meet your needs and help improve your health and wellbeing.
The Beacon Box gives you a taster of some of the local activities and will also have information about what is going on throughout the borough of Bury. The activities are designed to be done from peoples own homes to support people who cannot attend groups and sessions locally for whatever reason.
Each pack is available on request by individuals or through referrals to Beacon Service.
For more information and support accessing community services suitable for your needs please ring 0161 518 5550 or email beaconservice@buryvcfa.org.uk
