Islington Council is strengthening health and wellbeing services through community plans, aligning with social prescribing.

Islington Council's Executive approved the We Are Cally Plan 2025-2028 in January 2026, a community development strategy for the Caledonian Road area. This plan supports the Islington Together 2030 Plan, focusing on themes including health and wellbeing, which aligns with social prescribing, a non-medical approach connecting individuals with community resources.

The We Are Cally Plan outlines actions to build on local strengths and foster collaboration between residents, the voluntary and community sector, and public agencies. Social prescribing is a concept related to health and wellbeing services that is being strengthened. In November 2024, Tower Hamlets' Health & Adults Scrutiny Sub-Committee discussed improving preventative care for residents over 55.
