📢 New publication from PHIRST South Bank available now: An evaluation of a community-based intervention in England aiming to reduce inequalities in exercise participation frontiersin.org/journals/sport…

How can 🚭services better reach disconnected smokers? It's all about building trust. Allow staff time to engage with the community they want to reach. Reflect & refine the practices used #Smokefree2030 @TomMills1984 @susie_sykes_ @AshOrgUK @LTA_London journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11…

How to help ppl quit smoking? Some prefer phone support, others in-person. The chance to choose is valued by all. Our new video explains more youtube.com/watch?v=ndPO2S… #Smokefree2030 @susie_sykes_ @TomMills1984 @LynneDawkins @CathLynneJ @JaneWillsj @AshOrgUK @LTA_London

We highlight 5⃣ considerations when planning mental health interventions for young people. Incl. Services should support + train people with lived experience to help others. Peer support is unique + invaluable #PowerInCommunity #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek youtube.com/watch?v=3Bdqux…

Has been a privilege working with @James__Grimes on Chapter One's 10-point plan, launching today in parliament @GambleWithLives standard.co.uk/business/busin…

A step forward from @DCMS but still much to do. Our research shows how community organisations and people with Lived Experience (LE) can work together to address gambling harms. A comprehensive public health strategy is required that includes support for LE-led organisations

Great to be at the @LSBU research and innovation festival today, discussing our PHIRST evaluations @susie_sykes_

🧵 PHIRST South Bank just released its evaluation of a mental health initiative for young people (16-25) in Central Bedfordshire. Our infographic walks through the key findings: bit.ly/3Csdb92

A fascinating read for library fans! And my favourite library buildings all feature: Swiss Cottage, Fullwell Cross, and Canada Water. open.substack.com/pub/londonist/…

As health and wellbeing are created and sustained in the settings where people live, study, work and play, the Institute of Health Promotion and Education calls for the creation of health promoting settings. bmj.com/content/386/bm…

Deeply concerning & disappointing that Smashed, a school-based programme funded by multinational alcoholic beverage company Diageo, is being allowed to tour schools in Wales ⬇️ southwalesargus.co.uk/news/24594287.…

The @guardian view on public libraries: "For all their benefits, funding for libraries is never a priority, trumped by the more urgent demands of healthcare and schools. And yet, properly resourced, they can help alleviate the pressures on both." theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

This sticks with me... "patient and public inclusion in research may become less likely to aim towards inclusion of public and patient-led priorities, acting instead as kind of a “handmaiden” to research, servicing and validating institutionally pre-defined research goals"

“Libraries are hit hardest in the very areas that need them most.”

💬 "I knew I wanted to use my experiences to help other people" Take a look at this video from @NIHR_PHIRST exploring the contribution of the lived experience in addressing gambling harms at the local level ➡️ youtube.com/watch?v=plSsZ6…

The data for this evaluation included some powerful stories of the challenges people face when engaging with physical activity. Thank you to all those who told us their stories🙏 @CathLynneJ @TomMills1984 @tonymossuk @FringsDaniel @LSBU @JaneWillsj @TATaylorK @NicolaM79014592
