• Elemental is a social prescribing service that enables us to connect our community members to our different programmes based on their wellbeing needs. Social prescribing is when link workers or GPs refer people to activities in their community to benefit their social welfare and mental health. Elemental allows people to self-refer or refer someone else.

Please use this link to access our Elemental referral form. We will then be in contact about your preferred Arts & Wellbeing programme or one of our programmes that we think will suit your needs.

We encourage independence and agency around participants’ needs. We also appreciate that for some people travel costs, access on public transport or planning journeys can be a barrier to participation.

• Our team is on hand to support you with planning journeys, including reminder calls on the day.
• We can reserve disabled parking spaces on site and cover the congestion charge if needed.
• We have a limited number of travel bursaries for people who live in Lambeth and Southwark and who require a return taxi journey. These are on a case-by-case basis and we can offer support for six events before reviewing.
• We are able to book participants a car using their Taxicard service account details.
• We book taxis using Addison Lee, who charge a high waiting fee five minutes after arrival. To avoid this waiting fee, we ask that those travelling are ready to leave ahead of the confirmed pick-up time.

If you would like to enquire about travel support available, phone us on 020 7960 4206 or email us at artsandwellbeing@southbankcentre.co.uk
