WSSPR is a virtual all-Wales Centre that sits within PRIME Centre Wales. WSSPR is co-led by the University of South Wales and Wales Council for Voluntary Action. WSSPR works with local, national and international partners to conduct research that sits under five themes: Evaluation, Social Value; Workforce and Education; Wellbeing; and Nature-Based Interventions & Creative Referral. We aim to drive a transdisciplinary and inter-sector approach for social prescribing research and evaluation, increasing the evidence base for social prescribing both in Wales and internationally

WSSPR research and development examples include the social prescribing evaluation framework, the South Wales Social Wellbeing Scale, contributing to the development of the National Framework for Social Prescribing, the production of a glossary of terms for social prescribing and an accompanying website www.splossary.wales.
