Six art studios across the North East of England have partnered together on a project called "Lifelines" to support over 500 individuals with mental health issues or disabilities. The project involved artists working with participants at each studio to create artworks exploring connections between the studios. This culminated in exhibitions of the artwork. The benefits of the art studios for participants includes increased confidence, improved well-being, and reduced symptoms of ill-health. The partnership aims to strengthen collaboration between the studios and raise their profile in the region.

RE.TREAT CORNWALL: HOW TO LIVE WHEN SEA LEVELS RISEAnke de Vrieze
A summer camp where families pretend to be climate refugees? An arts-based experiential learning experiment? A delightful and intellectually stimulating weekend in the highlands of Cornwall, full of laughter and joy?
In July 2018, seven families took part in an experimental 4-day ‘retreat’ in Cornwall, UK. The aim of this creative residency was to imagine and design how to live when sea levels rise. SUSPLACE fellow Kelli Rose Pearson and SUSPLACE project coordinator Anke de Vrieze attended RE.TREAT Cornwall as participant observers. The story starts with a full lunar eclipse, a neolithic cairn, and an unexpected storm. It ends with the Boatbarrow - an amphibious mobile art gallery. This slideshow follows their learning journey and has been compiled for your perusal and enjoyment.
Initiated by Dr. Natalia Eernstman (Plymouth College of Art, UK), the residency was part of an international research project on arts, sustainability, and experiential learning funded by The Seedbox.

A panel discussion considering what the future hold for charities and their governance, and how trustees can support their charities to survive and thrive.
Here we share our progress on updating the Charity Governance Code. Hear from the Code steering group about changes that are being made to the Diversity and Integrity principles following its refresh.
The panel will share some of the proposed changes to the Integrity principle, offering a preview of the updates. They will also reflect on findings from engagement and the extended consultation on enhancements to the Diversity principle. This will be an opportunity for the steering group to share their learning, having listened to a range of experiences. It is also an opportunity to discuss best practice which has been identified through the revision work. Finally, the group will offer an update on next steps on the Code's revision.
We’ve put together this video guide to using the governance wheel to carry out a board effectiveness review. It will be most useful for trustees or staff who are undertaking a board review for their own charity and want to know how best to use the governance wheel to support them in this.
As the charity sector continues to manage the impact of the pandemic, many charities are facing financial uncertainty. In this context many senior leaders, to ensure their charity’s sustainability, will be considering collaboration and merger. In this webinar, in association with Bates Wells, we aim to answer questions such as: When should a charity in crisis consider merging? What are the alternatives? How can you make the best decision for your organisation? You will also hear about a new online decision-making tool which will help organisations chart the options open to them in a tight financial spot.
Normal working practices have changed dramatically in a very short period. Most staff are still working remotely, and many organisations have made use of the furlough scheme. This has meant organisations are having to manage and support staff remotely; review some existing policies to ensure they are still fit for purpose; and manage with a reduced and rotating staff capacity. In partnership with our Trusted Supplier Croner, in this webinar we will be sharing good practice on managing and supporting staff in this new environment. We will be joined by Vicky Scott, Operations and HR Manager at Hackney CVS who will share the experiences and learnings of Hackney CVS in this new context.
The economic impact of coronavirus means that many voluntary sector organisations will be going through a period of significant change over the coming months. For many of the hardest hit charities, the process of restructuring and making redundancies will sadly be inevitable. In this webinar we help organisations prepare for this context.
Entering a new phase of the Covid-19 pandemic, with the option of returning to your workplace, has legal and practical implications for all charities. Employers need to be clear about what they are required to do to ensure the health and safety of their staff and volunteers. Employers are having to consider questions such as: what reasonable adjustments should employers make for their workforce in returning to a ‘new normal?’ How can we prepare for what lies ahead? In partnership with TrustLaw, in this webinar we aim to answer these questions. We will be joined by Sarah Valentine, Senior Associate at Eversheds Sutherland and Andrew New, Head of Education at St John Ambulance.

Antibiotic Stewardship by Anushri Srivastava.pptxAnushriSrivastav
Stewardship is the act of taking good care of something.
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
WHO launched the Global Antimicrobial Resistance and Use Surveillance System (GLASS) in 2015 to fill knowledge gaps and inform strategies at all levels.
ACCORDING TO apic.org,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
ACCORDING TO pewtrusts.org,
Antibiotic stewardship refers to efforts in doctors’ offices, hospitals, long term care facilities, and other health care settings to ensure that antibiotics are used only when necessary and appropriate
According to WHO,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a systematic approach to educate and support health care professionals to follow evidence-based guidelines for prescribing and administering antimicrobials
In 1996, John McGowan and Dale Gerding first applied the term antimicrobial stewardship, where they suggested a causal association between antimicrobial agent use and resistance. They also focused on the urgency of large-scale controlled trials of antimicrobial-use regulation employing sophisticated epidemiologic methods, molecular typing, and precise resistance mechanism analysis.
Antimicrobial Stewardship(AMS) refers to the optimal selection, dosing, and duration of antimicrobial treatment resulting in the best clinical outcome with minimal side effects to the patients and minimal impact on subsequent resistance.
According to the 2019 report, in the US, more than 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant infections occur each year, and more than 35000 people die. In addition to this, it also mentioned that 223,900 cases of Clostridoides difficile occurred in 2017, of which 12800 people died. The report did not include viruses or parasites

1. This Partnership’s a Real Lifeline
Studios from across the North East join forces to deliver inspiring ‘Lifelines’ project to their clients
Six art studios from across the North East, who provide services to local people experiencing mental health problems plus other disabilities, have
joined forces to raise funding for work with innovative curating and producing group ( maybe insert Community Interest Company' and expand on
curating / producing later in text ? ) Fitzrovia Noir. The project, titled “Lifelines”, funded by Esmée Fairbairn Foundation, will see a group of artists work
with people in each of the studios, culminating in a series of exhibitions and this special publication celebrating the work.
0. The studios span the length of the region: North Tyneside Art Studio (NTAS) in North Shields; Chilli Studios, covering Newcastle and Gateshead; Bill
Quay Art Group in Gateshead; Arts4Wellbeing in South Shields; Artrium in Hartlepool; Phoenix Art Group in Stockton. Their services are people-
focused and participatory, creative and challenging, intimate and offer long term support where necessary. Between them, they support over 500
individuals with a wide variety of ill health and needs.
0. The benefits to service users in each of the studios is wide ranging and real. Typical benefits reported include increased self worth and confidence,
improved quality of life, personal growth, skills development and reduced symptoms of ill health. “The Art Studio turned my life around in such a
way I can hardly begin to describe. My world was so closed in that it even frightened me. I was living in pyjamas…all of my curtains and blinds
were closed… On a few occasions I tried to take my own life. Now I have skirts and jeans on my washing line instead of pyjamas and
nightdresses. My curtains opened last week for the first time in 2 years. The Art Studio has become my saviour, a place of peace and tranquillity
and an oasis of encouragement and friendship.” (Wanda, NTAS service user). This impact is nationally recognised, “The arts, creativity and the
imagination are agents of wellness: they help keep the individual resilient, aid recovery and foster a flourishing society.” (Charter for Arts, Health
and Wellbeing, July 2012 – National Alliance for Arts, Health and Wellbeing)
0. The Lifelines project started by giving a specially printed Logbook to each participant, distributed to groups at each studio. The centrespread has a
blanked-out Metro and local rail map, with the locations of each studio marked at the nearest station, encouraging participants to create their own
response, mapping their connections and personal interests.
Arts4wellbeing_South Shields
Garry Hunter worked at Tynecolour photographic laboratories in the 1980s, a stone’s throw from Arts4wellbeing. He introduced
traditional film-based practices using large format cameras and Polaroid, where each member of the group chose an exotic
destination and experimented with ‘hand colouring’ techniques and designing magazine covers featuring their own ‘assisted’ self
portraits.
Artrium_Hartlepool
Bee Taylor leads the workshop programme at Bivouac on the Swinton Estate in North Yorkshire where her alternative 12 Days of
Christmas sculptural trail using found materials was installed in the forest. Her work encapsulates ceramics, glass and ephemera.
She made use of the Artrium kiln to demonstrate glass-making techniques, where participants looked at the maritime heritage of
Hartlepool, and learned how to make their own pieces. She is also advising on ceramics to the studio users.
Bill Quay_Pelaw
‘Chewing Gum Man’ Ben Wilson’s great-grandfather was a sea captain from Middlesborough. He has made at least one detailed
miniature painting on discarded gum at each of the six studios, leading workshops at four of them, where he expanded the choice
of ‘upcycling’ to give participants the choice of painting on other waste materials including squashed tin cans and bricks.
Chilli_Newcastle
Cityzen Kane AKA David Evans was born in Nigeria, while his father was working in mining, then spending his formative years as a
teenager in Darlington. He develops his own recipes for materials to mold often complex 3D ‘ancient alien’ installations and led
workshops to pass on his skills of creating ‘ancient aliens’ in clay. He also assisted Tom Chadwin at NTAS.
NTAS_North Shields
Tom Chadwin grew up in Rosneath, Agyll, Scotland and studied glassmaking at the University of Sunderland. For Lifelines he
has made a chandelier of layered fused glass sections designed and made by studio users themselves, that he is mounting onto
bicycle tyre rims of various sizes, powered to rotate with a mirrorball motor. He also assisted Cityzen Kane at Chilli Studios.
Phoenix_Stockton-on-Tees
Matthew Kolakowski has taught in every sector from primary to higher education and his Memento adult and community learning
module developed into a big European partnership. He shared his skills of making waste cardboard into suitcase sculptures that
represent an icon from the golden age of travel and poignantly links to issues of forced and economic migration. He also led
workshops at Chilli Studios.
The North East Art Studios Partnership project is funded by Esmée Fairbairn Foundation and is a partnership development activity. The aim is to
develop relationships, communication and sharing of best practice between the studios, plus strengthen their visibility and voice in the region. The
creative project, Lifelines, is the heart of this development activity.
Fitzrovia Noir was established as a Community Interest Company in 2011, after producing over 30 site specific projects starting in 2008 with a major
documentation of the demise of the Middlesex Hospital in central London, photographing during the demolition period former patients and staff
including Professor Sir Anthony Epstein, who started at the teaching hospital there in 1946 and went on to co-discover the virus that causes M.E.
