Implementing support for paid staff working for voluntary sector organisations: Actionresearch study

Our funded study is exploring how charities can better support their paid staff. For example, people employed as wellbeing coaches, mental health workers and social prescribers. This is because if staff are well-supported, this ensures better quality services for people accessing help. We have a service user Experts by Experience group. The group meets online every 6 months with occasional tasks between meetings. We are looking for about 4 additional people to join the group. We are especially looking for young people (under 24s), older people and men. This is to fill gaps we currently have on our group. People ideally need to have experience of receiving help from charities. If you are interested, please contact the research lead (Alexis Foster- alexis.foster@sheffield.ac.uk) and we will send a short expression of Interest form that needs completing to apply to join the group.
