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
#VCSE #VONNE #mentalhealth #returntowork
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!
Presenting on behalf of #VONNE at the #NENC VCSE Partnership Exec Group on the great progress we’ve made with the Assura project — creating a shared way to evidence how the #VCSE improves #health and #wellbeing, working with #NHS and VCSE partners across the #NorthEast

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

Exploring how community-led data practices can shape fairer, more inclusive systems
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!

Again, lots of great work happening across the NENC region!
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.
