Ah, time for my annual tweet😏! An evaluation I did last year of the LCE programme - supporting local authorities to better engage the public around climate decision-making - has just been published, with masses of learning:

Just had fab @NHSuk experience at @EKHUFT. My recently-received appt was on time. Saw consultant, clear, warm, helpful. Done in <10mins. I'll have to wait a bit longer for surgery, but thats ok cos clear plan outlined. NHS can still rock it, against the odds. Thanks

Happy #YoungCarersActionDay 2023! We have carers and young carers in my family, so this is a cause close to my heart. It can be a tough gig and such support is vital

So excited to be delivering training for @UKevaluation, co-training with the amazing Georgie Parry-Crooke. Focus on the ART of evaluation, not the technical methods. Latter vital but only part of the skills needed for great evaluation. First workshop:

What makes a successful theory of change process? I’ve just completed one with @NHyouthcentre, just published: https://t.co/IbzAy7mjPW Reflections on why I think this project went well here: https://t.co/ZzUH77UUXQ. Participation, committment, flexibility & utility are all key.

Sending a honk, a hot tea and a chocolate muffin to my friends and all the other nurses on the picket lines today, especially in Kent. Thanks for the great photos @andyaitchison

I'm really looking forward to speaking at tomorrow's launch of my latest evaluation - @NHyouthcentre's ECR project, working with yps involved in criminal justice system. Fascinating, interesting & challenging evaluation, loads of learning. Please join us! https://t.co/HDPCRN7UJp

Tackling climate change requires public engagement. We worked with six orgs prior to COP26, helping them self-evaluate; I synthesised their findings to draw out learning about what works in public engagement. Just published by @CGF_UK, the report is here:
