Theory of Change - for TSIP

Katie Fowler, the CEO of TSIP https://www.tsip.co.uk asked me to illustrate the organisation's 'Theory of Change'.

It was an interesting one because it involved so many 'moving parts'. Katie very kindly edited down the huge amount of information that they'd originally wanted to include. There's only so much you can fit on an A4 sheet of paper!

 

Family Hubs in Kent

I've been commissioned by Kent County Council to record local views on the development of the new Family Hub model. I was in Margate on Wednesday and Sheerness on Thursday. Very different views and demographic in the two different areas which was interesting. I'll return in a month to gather more feedback.

Caring for people with Autism in Camden

This month I was commissioned by Richard Lohan of Camden's accessible information team to draw out some images that will be used for a short film to explain how to assist young people with autism who may be going through a period of change.

I especially liked drawing out the breathing exercise and thought we could all probably do with the adoption of the worry box: put all your worries in a box and then make an appointment to go through them one by one with a person who cares about you.

 

Derby Educational Event

A day up in Derby for an education conference with a difference - how to build on inclusion within schools, so that everyone feels a part of something and no-one has to feel 'not good enough'.

Inspiring day, Jo Wilkinson is a wonderful leader and I felt humbled and privileged to work on this event. It felt like a movement for change was really taking shape!

 

Council for Disabled Children/Wellcome Trust/Kent Uni/Cambridge Uni

Had a lovely evening way back in June, working on the launch of a creative research project, all about how people experience care in the UK. Many partners involved in the project, and lots of young care-experienced people who are now getting involved. I hope they get a lot out of telling their story creatively.

This was started off in the reading room at the Wellcome Trust (what a lovely space!https://wellcomecollection.org/pages/Wvlk4yAAAB8A3ufp), but I finished it off in my back garden, as it was too beautiful a day to stay indoors!
