CFaomopdafigonr RTohuonudg-uhptAs 2014 draws to a close and we prepare for the 2015campaign (see page 2 for details), it is a good time tolook back at our successful events from the past year.Campaign FocusThis year our focus has been on ‘Food for Thought’,looking at the importance of how we grow andprepare our food, and our personal, social and culturalrelationship with food in relation to our mental healthand wellbeing.The campaign kicked off with three mini launches thisyear; St Mary’s Hospital hosted the event in Leeds andboth the Umbrella and Parasol Cafes supported thecampaign in York. Spring was a great time to launchthe grow-your-own-food aspect of the campaign and we have handed out hundredsof small packets of veggie seeds to first-time gardeners keen to have a go. Highlights One of the highlights of the year was the launch of the Food for Thought Garden by the Your Health Matters project team at Woodland Square, St Mary’s Hospital. The garden was so successful that by the time Annual Members’ Day arrived in September, the team were able to bring along a large selection of the veggies they had grown. We attended many events around our region this year: the Love Arts Festivals in Leeds and York and summerevents around the region from the well-known Kirkstall Abbey in Leeds to little-knownBarkston Ash near Tadcaster. Another highlight was York Pride where we signed up 175new members – an event record for our team!We have also worked in successful partnership with different organisations this year. Forexample, we organised the ‘Souper Friday’ event in partnership with York Mind and theReaders’ Café at Sycamore House in York.04 Imagine Issue 11

This follows a lot of development work done by the CCG with a wide range ofstakeholders about what the future pattern of services looks like.In January 2015 the CCG will invite providers, working in new partnerships, to bid toprovide mental health and learning disability services for their entire population of Yorkand North Yorkshire.We are committed to providing the best possible service to the people of York and NorthYorkshire, and work has already started in Care Serviceson developing our bid. This is a great opportunity forour staff to work together, and with others, to thinkdifferently about what the future looks like.

James Morgan, Public Governor for York and North YorkshireCan you tell me about your background and your current role inthe NHS?Unlike my fellow governors, who have assumed their role aside or following employment,I have undertaken the role whilst as a student completing my undergraduate degree inpsychology at university.My role as an Elected Governor for York and North Yorkshire is to represent the publicmembers of the constituency on the Board of Governors. This democratic representationis fundamental to the model of a Foundation NHS Trust, as it ensures everybody is able toshare their opinions on matters relating to the Trust. Members are welcome to contact meanytime should they so wish.How and why did you become a Governor?I initially became involved with the Trust in early 2013 by volunteering as a Mental HealthAct Manager. I found this experience insightful, and it made me particularly aware that theyounger demographic of members are not well represented. With this in consideration, in2014 I took the opportunity to nominate myself to stand for the role of Public Governor for York and North Yorkshire, and shortly thereafter I was elected alongside Richard Brown to represent the constituency. What are your aims as a Governor? My foremost aim, as for all Governors, is to ensure that the highest standard of care is accessible to all service users. We will continue to work collectively with the Board of Directors, Clinicians and service users to achieve this. Furthermore, a personal aim of mine as a Public Governor is to encourage the involvement and participation of as many members as possible. What are your hopes for the future in the role? As I am still new to the role, my hope for the immediate future is to develop my understanding of the Trust and how it operates. This may, of course, take a considerable length time, and I hope during this period to get to know members, and collectively address any concerns that arise.20 Imagine Issue 11
