It remains a developing mapping tool, for wellbeing support across the county of Derbyshire. The Newest layer Self Help Guides I think well support so many people, and the Summary and Best For sections will easily guide people to the most relevant support needed very quickly. Next development ideal is to have the map in local support hubs and even GP surgeries.
