From the Website: 

Social prescribing can connect people to a range of activities that are typically provided by voluntary and community sector organisations such as volunteering, arts activities, group learning, gardening, befriending, cookery, healthy eating advice and a range of sports. It can also help to cultivate the wider infrastructure of arts, cultural and other community activities (e.g. sport, nature) to support health and wellbeing.

There’s a variety of projects across England that already operate in this space, and arts and cultural organisations have played a key role in establishing social prescribing as a grass-roots movement, helping to lay the foundation for NHS England’s more recent plans for a universally available service.
