I have returned to London where I lead a legal policy team at the Ministry of Justice. I've since taken up theatre directing, inspired by the stories I encountered in the USA and the potential for art to shift narratives around punitive criminal justice policy. I hope to direct a theatre festival focusing on justice and look forward to taking part in public debates around policy reform.

I recently presented my Fellowship findings at the National Paramedic Research Conference in Leicestershire and had the opportunity to network with educators from several universities. The next steps include a research collaboration to implement some of the findings into undergraduate education in the UK.

I have continued in direct work with sex workers as an Independent Sexual Violence Advocate. I have been involved in other sex work research projects and continued with sex work activism on a local, regional and national level.

I used my findings to create real change in my organisation and across the industry. I have chaired working groups, helped implement new policies and procedures, created educational packages for staff and new recruits and shared my findings by giving presentations to other fire brigades across the country.

On returning from my two-leg Fellowship trip to the USA, I have been able to share ideas on a national and international level, speaking at the EMS EXPO on the subject in New Orleans. I have also been fortunate enough to share ideas across the paramedic profession, speaking at several conferences and providing consultation to both NHS and private ambulance providers. To complement this, I successfully had a second paper published in a peer reviewed journal on the subject of peer support.

I hope to use the findings from my Fellowship to highlight some of the measures that can be implemented to support, and give a voice to, those who have suffered from lifelong, intergenerational harms caused by historic adoption practices. I wish to inform and influence a variety of professional and charitable bodies, as well as policy makers, if I can.

I have used my Fellowship experience to introduce change and new methods regarding how we approach winter maintenance in my region in the UK.

For my Fellowship I went to Scandinavia and the USA to research co-living and whether it could be a solution for housing affordability. At the time I was the co-founder of a real estate tech platform, Native Finance, which went on to be acquired in 2023. I now work as a Commercial Director for Zero Petroleum, a deeptech company in the clean energy space making carbon neutral synthetic fuels.

I was naive about emergency services. I learnt a lot from Deaf employers FEMA in the USA. I learnt about emergency services from BNPB in Indonesia, New Zealand and Australia and from Gallaudet University about world affairs, new research and data. Now for the first time the World Federation of the Deaf has set up new full-time DRR officers after a long campaign. I started the ball rolling and spread the word about Deaf emergencies.

I set up an innovative, national psychological wellbeing programme for paramedics through our professional body. I have also presented on psychological health at several conferences, both nationally and internationally, and continue to research in this field to build upon a credible evidence base.

I held a successful launch of my Fellowship report at Bayes Business School, with an engaged audience of charity and philanthropy professionals. The report, which is entitled Transformative Philanthropy: A Manual for Social Change, has had a positive response and a number of key speaking engagements have followed, together with some podcast recordings.

My Fellowship has significantly changed my focus in my work as a community leader in the Grenfell area. I am developing strategic relationships within the local council to work together towards transformation across the organisation. I provided substantial input into the Grenfell Partnerships team there and am increasingly involved in other Grenfell initiatives such as the Memorial Commission and Health and Wellbeing Service. The official launch of my report will draw together community leaders, local people and statutory services. I am committed to continuing to share hope for the long haul and partner with others for change.

I was able to lead the development of a purpose-built modular housing scheme for students and young people leaving care in Bristol. This was supported by Bristol University and Bristol City Council and has enabled young people who wouldn't usually live together to learn from each other, sharing common areas but with their own studio flats.
