Back to work at VONNE today - the last step in easing back after a tough mental health crisis. Grateful for the team’s support, and ready to get back into the Assura project and rebuild my routines. One step at a time, but moving forward

Thrilled to share I’ve officially passed my probation at #VONNE as Development Coordinator for the Assura project - one month to the day after my #PhD approval on #VCSE involvement in #mentalhealth research
A hugely rewarding start to both journeys!

My work draws on lived experience & 10yrs in the #VCSE, inc. my current role at #VONNE measuring VCSE impact in #health, and feeds into my research with #NorthFutures @northumbriauni.bsky.social @eatingdistressne.bsky.social (& others) into ED and food poverty
Just need to fund my attendance! 💙
Busy day - great meeting with my #PhD supervisors, followed by an informative meeting with members of the the #NHS NENC ICB steering group for the #VONNE Assura project (#VCSE outcome and impact frameworks to support NHS commissioning). Really feel like I'm making progress and having an impact today
Attending @ukdataservice.bsky.social intro to secondary data analysis – vital for my work on VCSE #NHS impact and outcome frameworks at #VONNE (Assura project), my #PhD on #mentalhealth research systems
Big value in understanding data origins, context, & ethics

Attending @ukdataservice.bsky.social session on informed consent and ethical data reuse

Been into #VONNE for a successful Health and Wellbeing team planning meeting, and now about to enjoy coffee and catchup with a former colleague from #Healthwatch North Tyneside
Add to that recent success with my #running and #PhD and the week couldn't be starting better really
1 month into the new job at #VONNE - feeling positive after a great week: 1st #EDI staff group, project planning catch-up, supportive back-to-work and a fab 1st supervision
Grateful to be back after a tough mental health dip last week
Onwards, 1 step at a time
#NewJobJourney #MentalHealthMatters
This #WorldHealthDay, I’m proud to work with #VONNE delivering a project supporting #VCSE impact in #health commissioning, and to be exploring inclusive and impactful #mentalhealth research in my #PhD
Healthy beginnings need joined-up, community-rooted systems

Attending #LGAADPHconf today on tackling health inequalities. Timely as I collaborate with #VONNE on integrating #VCSE impact in #health systems & explore power dynamics in my #PhD on VCSE roles in #mentalhealth research. Eager to discuss strategies to empower #communities and address #inequalities
A wonderful welcome from the #VONNE team in their latest News bulletin!
There's far more interesting things than me in there, see the latest news impacting the #VCSE in #NENC as well as #recruitment, events and training and opportunities to share your views

Looking forward to today’s @thekingsfund.bsky.social event on doing with, not to—such an important shift
Keen to explore how this thinking can shape my work at #VONNE on impact measurement in #VCSE commissioning, and inform my #PhD on VCSE roles in #mentalhealth research
#DoWithNotTo
Social prescribing transforms lives by linking people to community-based support—arts, nature, peer groups & more.
Huge thanks to all making it happen! 💙
Let’s keep building healthier, connected communities!

Happy Belated New Year!
Been super busy and will be for the next month. 2024 was a mixed bag and, I was in pain every second of every day but I came through! More of myself and less of myself. Back to one, different. Excited and scared for the new year. Keep on!

Thank you to #ConnectedVoice and Voluntary Organisations Network North East #VONNE who provide support to the #northeast #vcse sector, for helping me to understand the impact of the increase in NIC on charities in Newcastle. We discussed the ways in which the impact could be mitigated.
