"Great experience at awareness raising event Life to Live at Ashfield Community Hospital"

About: Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust / Adult mental health (inpatient)

(as a staff member),

At Jigsaw we think it's really important to be out in the community informing the public about what we can do to help. So events like Life to Live at Ashfield Community Hospital are ideal for us to spread the news about what we do. Not only did we make useful connections with other professionals represented at the event, we met lots of people who were interested in what we do but best of all, I met a professional who told me that she had a client who would really benefit from our personalised support service, Jigsaw Independence. A great day with a harper - Mick Lawlor playing beautiful music - what else could you ask for?

Jigsaw work to ensure that no one in North Nottinghamshire falls through the net of service provision. We do this through a number of projects such as befriending, mentoring and support. We offer valuable training for all our volunteers which helps those that are able to, or want to, to get into or back to work.

Hello, my name is Jane Danforth. My role involves helping our service users, volunteers and staff to understand that Notts Healthcare wants to hear stories about our services. We reply to every story and it really helps us to improve what we do, how we do it and to hear about what works well too.

Working together in partnership is the best way to help people accessing our services. I was really interested to find out about Jigsaw which is a much needed service offering valuable support to people needing a personalised support service.

We are always pleased to be able to signpost our members to services that may help them in their recovery. This information may be particularly useful to our own involvement volunteers who may wish to contact you to support Jigsaw.

If you want to tell more people about Jigsaw and how to access your service, please reply with your contact details.

Thank you for your posting
