Issue 10 of Shine, our Trust magazine has been published and is packed full of uplifting and inspiring stories from our people, services and teams.

See behind the scenes, get to know our people and read the stories that come from your mental health, learning disability and community Trust in Lancashire and South Cumbria.

In the jam-packed summer edition, we celebrate the first anniversary of our secure parkrun at Guild Lodge; get to know special school nurse Julie, who is retiring after an incredible 50-year career; and we shine the spotlight on the innovative work of Consultant Neuropsychiatrist Dr Czarina Kirk who is putting acquired brain injury on the political agenda.

It's issued just as South Asian Heritage Month draws to a close and contains a tasty recipe that celebrates the Indian festival of Onam. If you flick to page 38, you can read Deputy Chief Nurse Rebekah Roshan’s open account of celebrating her own heritage, her journey to acceptance and breaking barriers.

You can also get the inside scoop on the latest developments at Water Meadow View - our new mental health support facility for adults with learning disabilities due to open this year - and you can read personal reflections on men’s mental health.

We don’t want to give too much away, so have a read for yourself.
