Our model

At The Life Rooms we have a threefold approach to improving health: learning, social prescribing and community.

Our three pillar model is based on a social approach which enables people to become more active in their own health. 

We focus on prevention and enabling the whole community – service users, carers, their families and local communities – to bring about change. 

This model improves the health of the population reduces pressure on clinical services.
