“Most of this work we’re doing is work we want to do anyway, that we’re already doing for free, but that makes it perpetually unsustainable.”

Join us as we imagine ways community funding could be done differently, and share the material impacts of the current system of projects, bids, and buzzword bingo.

...but are afraid to tell you because we can't afford to piss you off'

Recorded as part of an NHS event in March 2023, this episode explores the practical impacts of relying on project-based funding bids to deliver community development work, and asks if there are better ways of making that work .

Enjoyed dipping into the England Public Participation team's Spring Event today

With re-structures and financial year end dragging us into organisational self-absorption, it's both important and refreshing to spend time hearing the voices of the people we're all here to serve

My boss Olivia Butterworth has been interviewed for a podcast with Polly Neate and Roger Martin for A Better Way. Worth some time in your ears if you're interested in how the NHS can work better in partnership with people and communities.

Great to present alongside @Jeffbluebeard@twitter.com and Jamesy at the @bhamcommunity@twitter.com nurses conference at @BCFC@twitter.com's St Andrew's stadium today. And the sun was out (hence the squinting!).

Thought I'd share a little bit about me .... Migrant from the bird site and feeling my way through this new space.
I work in the NHS and I'm passionate about how we genuinely involve people and communities to create our own health and the services we need to support wellness and happiness.
I'll also be posting random pictures of Moors, Stanley the Staffie, Kevin the Cat and Ragdoll Jim
I'll be using to share work we do. Be great to see folks getting connected and involved 💜

Drawn back to this blog post that I published 3 years ago today. Still pretty much where I stand on the skills and approaches we need to nurture in health and care

Full on day yesterday with virtual conference, followed by the Health and Social Care industry dinner in the evening. Rob Webster's speech at the TechUK thing provided something of a bridge, but wow there's still a massive chasm of participation and diversity between these two worlds

Patricia Miller: training colleagues in her ICS in interviewing skills so they can go out and listen to people in communities, instead of expecting people to come to them
