Cancer affects one in two of us. On World Cancer Day 2025 we are sharing the work we are doing in South Yorkshire and Bassetlaw to tackle cancer together. @NHSSYICB @SYBshowsup cancer is everyone’s business please share widely!
On World Cancer Day, the South Yorkshire and Bassetlaw ‘Shows Up’ movement presents a short film to explain how cancer is everyone’s business.

Charities fill the gaps in support for ppl so extra NIC cost to employ staff is seriously worrying.Here's the impact.@vasnews @TonyChapmanUK @felly500 fspshttps://localdemocracyandhealth.com/2024/09/25/what-is-the-point-of-the-nhs-integrated-care-board-plan/#comments

Govt is far too centralised in this country and often operates in silos, so the greater devolution to regional govt being announced today is welcome, provided they engage with citizens at local level and work with civil society to create better, preventative, joined up services.

If the govt is going to deliver its missions where others have failed, it should work in partnership with the charity sector from the start, bringing their expertise, reach and knowledge of what works to their mission boards - the message sent to the PM by charity leaders today.
Sheffield Healthwatch gets everywhere to hear about people's views & experience.
We're at Sheffield Town Hall today, talking to people about health and social care at the 'Diabetes & Me' event. Thanks for having us @Sheffield_DUK 🤗
ALT Holly and Anna sat behind the Healthwatch stall. There are leaflets, pens and feedback activities on the table

Good to hear @wesstreeting #bbclaurak talking about doing with, rather than doing to NHS staff, and his job being to give them the tools, as part of a team. Far more likely to deliver change than Lansley type reorganisations. But patients/civil society must be in that team too.
Gathering intelligence about & from the VCSE is so important.It helps to influence policy makers & to tell an informed VCSE story.
@Jane_Hustwit @markgamsu @vasnews @karlwilding
Have you completed the VCSE Barometer Survey Wave 8 yet? Share your views with @VCSEObservatory @ProBonoEcon about what’s happening right now in your #VCSE organisation.
The findings are used to influence key decision-makers.

Important report by @age_uk showing how older people are not getting the care they need, which leads to avoidable personal crises and pressure on hospitals. A good example of charities using their knowledge to inform policy. I'm hoping Govt is listening bit.ly/3XEzyyM

Leaders are often promoted into positions without essential people skills. They may have longevity, strategic thinking, the right connections but they never say “how are you really doing?” “thank you for everything you’ve done” or “I’m sorry I got that wrong” Leadership is this.
Joining a Board of trustees is a good way to volunteer- whatever your background- you get experience of supporting a charity & its work. And ,VAS is a cutting edge , vibrant organisation!
@navca @felly500 @markgamsu
VAS is looking to appoint at least three new people to our board of trustees! We provide induction and mentoring for new trustees👨🏫🫂

" local community & voluntary organisations filled the gap"( of local council response & provision).So says Grenfell Inquiry.
Vol. sector often fills
gaps but what's needed is partnership, recognition & resource from local & national govt so people get proper support.
@NAVCA
Healthwatch Sheffield always identifies good experiences of health & social care & there's a lot but, where practice is poor we'll call it out.
🎉We heard some really positive feedback about local GP practices at a SACMHA celebration event last week.
👍Here are some highlights about Pitsmoor Surgery
Want to share your own experience of care? It only takes 5 minutes: tinyurl.com/HWSshareyourview…
ALT Two quotes: "For timely care and attention given to my son" and "Doctor Sean Farrelly at Pitsmoor Surgery. He's a good listener and reassuring. He's very friendly. What you want is advice and reassurance, and he gives you both in abundance"

Real change to improve health & social care needs listening to patients, carers & communities.
