CLAHRC Ten Year Anniversary

A deceptively simple leaflet co-design with Rachel Matthews and her team at CLAHRC Northwest London. 

It's the end of an era, but they're celebration day is next week. I hope they manage to keep in touch and remember all their fantastic achievements!

Strengths Based Social care - Illustration London

A pleasant change - the chance to not just capture live but reflect and think a bit more about the subject.

These drawings were developed and turned into a booklet for social workers in Wandsworth to help them focus on the positives in people's lives, all the things they can do and all the great people they have around them.

Great Ormond Street Hospital London - Graphic Recording

Slightly crammed graphic with about 25 medical talks on the second image but some amazing work being practiced by the team at Great Ormond Street - including pioneering surgery: operating on the spine of a child still in the womb, to improve a baby's chances with spina bifida. 

Dance Dialogues - Trinity Laban Centre London, Graphic Recording

I never thought I'd be drawing about dance, but that's the joy of this job - you never know what's around the corner!

We Make Camden - Graphic Recording in London

Had a wonderful day in Camden recently - capturing a huge amount of energy, diversity and fun with all that Camden offers. 

Very inspiring event organised by the council, and visited by Sir Kier Starmer who told those present to "Applaud yourselves!"

So true.

Healthy Weight Hackney - London Scribing

Had a great day recently in Hackney, this was a multi-agency meeting to create a 'movement' to inspire and promote healthy lives in Hackney. 

The council wanted stories and input from local people in order to get to the heart of what will motivate people and what the real drivers are. I was there to capture the energy and ideas on the day, and as a starting point to build on.

Scribing at Peckham Levels, London

This week I was working at a great venue, a regenerated car park in south London:

This was for Southwark council. They wanted to get closer to families and find out what 'helped' and what got in the way, as well as how parents/carers and their children can get more involved and shape the services they need.

I started by putting up the title...

and the evening was a bit of a whirlwind so only managed another pic right at the end!

Thanks to Beatrice Baumgartner-Cohen for the referral.
