Darnall Well Being

Like many charities, we have found that with free analytics data no longer available on X, we are unable to demonstrate our reach and impact via this channel, so cannot justify continued use of it to our funders. Regular updates will continue on LinkedIn, Facebook & Instagram.

We've been hosting Ali & Nikeisha from the Medical School at @sheffielduni for the past 4 weeks on placement. As well as visiting our groups, talking to staff & service users, they also helped us with 2 projects AND found time to do their @DementiaFriends training with Jo!👏

📣 Not one, but TWO opportunities to join our friendly, supportive team as a Social Prescribing Link Worker! All the information about the jobs is on our website, along with the application form: darnallwellbeing.org.uk/jobs/job-oppor… Please email questions to dwb.admin@darnallwellbeing.org.uk

Privileged to be at the @SHU_AWRC today for a presentation about the recent @DarnallWB community research about #socialprescribing & #frailty. A perfect example of the power of #community #research & how to conduct it effectively, authentically & transformatively.

What a fantastic event this morning! With our community researchers having 9 different ethnicities & speaking 11 languages between them, plus a passion to develop themselves and their community, it's no wonder they have done so well involving local people in their research. 👏

This #GivingTuesday we're asking you to remember that you can support Darnall Well Being without spending any money! Use our @easyuk link and when you buy products online, we get a donation without it costing you anything more! 🙌 easyfundraising.org.uk/causes/darnall…

Ali & Nikeisha are medical students from @sheffielduni on placement with us for 4 weeks. They're getting involved in lots of ways - from joining Monday Walk and Long Covid Group to digitising and categorising the handwritten feedback we've received from service users & partners. pic.twitter.com/aNsnJWxJA8

Thank you to our friends at @SHU_AWRC for hosting our AGM in their lecture theatre. It was a great space for the event and we're grateful for how welcome they made us all! 🙏

A snapshot of our October! It's great that we're being asked to be involved in so many wider projects & research opportunities. If you contact us about a collaboration, please bear in mind that we will want to consider each request as a team before deciding whether to go ahead.

The group has developed from the focus group that was established in collaboration with @tuosmusic research into music and dementia. JoJanGles meet every fortnight on Wednesdays, so they will be enjoying a variety of music together this afternoon! 3/   #Collaboration #Research

And showed the value of coming together to share music, both for people living with Dementia and their carers. As one attendee told them recently - “I didn’t want to get up today, but I’m so glad I came.” 🎶 2/

🧵 A big thank you to our volunteers, Janet and Glenys, who got up to speak at our AGM and share their experiences about being involved with the JoJanGles dementia music group. They shared some lovely feedback from attendees at the group. 1/

We were very pleased to be invited to this event with one of our Green Social Prescribing participants. We know the value that trees and green spaces offer for people's physical & mental health, so it's great to be involved with these ones being planted right in our local area!
