22 May 20

This week is Mental Health Awareness Week (18-24 May 2020), and for most of us, it looks a lot different from the years previous. It will be a challenging time for all of us - both those who have suffered from bad mental health previously and those who have not. Maybe we'll be more aware of it than we were last year, as the world around us feels ten times more vulnerable. But as we navigate these new and quite frankly damn right weird times, more and more of us are awakening our inner artist to help keep our insanity at bay.

NHS @ 70: The Organisation Collecting Your Stories, Memories and Opinions of the NHS

16 May 20

Up until recently, it’s fair to say that many of us have been guilty of taking the NHS for granted. But as the coronavirus continues to wreak havoc on the country, stretching the health service to its absolute limits, you can’t help but feel that, as a nation, we’re finally starting to truly understand the value of what we’re lucky to have. One organisation was well-ahead of the curve on the appreciation front, however, as the NHS at 70: The Story of Our Lives project has been collating stories, memories and experiences of the NHS for a few years, and 2020 has seen them focus their attention on the East Midlands. We talk to Oral History and Public Engagement Coordinator James McSharry to find out more...
