Creative Facilitator

I Designed and delivered a hands-on discovery day at the Food Museum in Suffolk with long covid patients, clinicians, artists and social prescribers to co-produce service solutions that enhance wellbeing.

Just the Tonic! was a hands-on discovery session that took place at the Food Museum on 11 July 2023. The collaborative session brought together people with lived experience of Long Covid, clinical staff, and cultural practitioners, to explore the gaps that exist in current service provision and to look at what might be developed to fill these gaps to improve the mental health and wellbeing of those who have experience of Long Covid, or those who have experienced isolation due to the Covid-19 pandemic lockdown. We invited 15 participants to let their imagination run free and have their voice heard by creating tonic vessels that embodied their personal stories and hopes related to Long Covid. The co-produced creative output was showcased at Endevour House, Town Hall, and visited by Suffolk’s Health & Wellbeing Board to influence strategic decision-making.
