Providing person-centred information and support to people with dementia and/or their carers. Working with service users in their homes and over the phone to deal with issues they were experiencing and to co-produce a wellbeing plan for them, their GP and related services.

The Bristol Energy Network is an umbrella organisation for all community energy groups in Bristol and the surrounding area. It aims to facilitate and promote the diverse activities and projects undertaken by its community energy group members by: cascading news, information and policy updates from local partners and national organisations; acting as a conduit between local groups and external organisations; and providing an open platform for the sharing of resources, ideas and debate through regular open meetings. The network is strongly action-orientated but does not undertake specific projects itself. Instead it seeks to promote collaboration between existing and new groups for the benefit of all.

The Big Issue Foundation works with Big Issue vendors to help them to move forwards in five key aspects of their lives: money management; accommodation; health; overcoming addictions; and aspirations. As an Assistant Service Broker in Bristol, I work closely with the vendors around these key areas, providing support and assistance as well as signposting to services with external organisations. Service Brokers are in a unique position to help some of the most vulnerable, difficult to reach people in our societies and although the role is a huge challenge it can also be extremely rewarding.
