IMPORTANT NOTICE 

Kilkenny LEADER Partnership will cease its delivery of the Kilkenny Social Prescribing Service as of the end of June 2024.

We are currently working closely with the HSE to ensure that there is as seamless transfer of the Social Prescribing service to a new host organisation from July 2024.

Clients currently using the social prescribing service will be prioritised in this transfer process and we will work to ensure that there is minimal disruption to social prescribing services during this transition.  The HSE will work with all services that refer clients into the Social Prescribing Project to advise on these new arrangements including the new host organisation, and new referral pathways from July 2024.

As we are currently in the transitioning phase of this service it is not possible for us to take any new referrals during this period. If you would like to express an interest in being contacted by the Kilkenny Social Prescribing Service when it is reestablished please do so by submitting your contact details in the ‘get in touch’ box below, referencing social prescribing.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our partners for your ongoing support in delivering a quality and effective Social Prescribing Service for all of our clients.
