Health and Wellbeing

Hear from Take the Lead awardees about the creative ways they used health data to inspire and connect their communities.

Health data can be used in lots of different ways. Scientists might use health data from the NHS to develop new treatments and understand diseases. A group of friends might use health data from their fitness watches to compete in a step challenge. An artist might use health data from a community survey as inspiration for a mural. What could you use health data for?

Join Gaddum for a practical, discussion-based workshop exploring how to navigate risk, boundaries and safeguarding in peer support settings.

This session uses realistic case scenarios drawn from common challenges—such as managing confidentiality, setting WhatsApp boundaries and handling complex group dynamics.

The session will work through real-life examples together and explore what you might say and do in the moment.

Bring all your questions to Gaddum’s free online Q&A to ask anything you’d like to know about working with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) in peer support.

The Q&A will be led by a peer group facilitator: Rachel brings lived experience of OCD. She reflects on the many ways recovery can look over a lifetime – raising questions about whether recovery always means the complete absence of difficult thoughts, or whether it can also mean learning to live well, safely and meaningfully alongside them.
