Thanks for hosting us @TheWaveBristol @WavemakerNick @JoeyJMurphy - great discussions and plans for social prescribing in partnership!
The final session of the day seen Maggy Blagrove from Open Minds Active & James Mallows and Sam Davies from @opsurfwell talk about social prescribing through blue health!
Two amazing examples of how blue health interventions are supporting the health of communities 👏👏

Hedge funds & private equity have been a blight on capitalism, hollowing out good businesses & pushing them to bankruptcy. Instructive reminder of the PM's past life at the heart of the hedge fund establishment that precipitated the 2008 financial crash 👇🏻 theguardian.com/politics/art…

Did you know that 70 miles off of the Yorkshire coast lies a vast sandbank, which 8,000 years ago formed a bridge between Britain and mainland Europe?
Conservationists are battling to protect and rewild the largest marine protected area in the UK known as 'Dogger Bank.'
Find out more about the work in an interview with ITV here 👇youtube.com/watch?v=JDTIJkdW…
ITV News covered our Rewilding Dogger Bank event at EA Sustain on Sunday and interviewed @CRHClover @OceanReuchlin (full clip available at @eafestivaluk on Instagram)

We didn't have parties to "boost morale"
We didn't have quiz nights
We didn't have champagne
We watched our colleagues die though
We were STEEPED in death
We kept going
We had to
We kept on
So don't you DARE say your parties were "necessary" @borisjohnson
You make me sick.

University of Bristol student Ariane Gerami has pioneered research showing the mental health benefits of surfing. It's the first of its kind research, carried out at an inland surf facility, & we're excited to continue supporting Arianne's PhD study, to scale up the findings.
