It will also test the role of government in making local systems more resilient and accessible. The Project includes: - Development of seven local system test and learn sites (pilots) in a variety of locations across England; - Experimental work at the national level to understand where and why there is potential for rapid growth in green social prescribing; and - Development of a Leadership Community of local and national practitioners and partners to support, steer and help drive delivery.
