Angela has successfully developed ways of embedding lived experience across organisations, including within operational services and governance, as well as influencing mental health policy and practice. She has led the establishment of a national peer support network, pioneered an award-winning training project, developed accredited training programmes, advised the National Involvement Partnership, judged the National Service User Involvement Awards,  served as a trustee and volunteered. Angela has spoken at several high-profile conferences and events based on her expertise and experience in the sector. 


Angela works with and alongside other lived experience leaders who have significant expertise and experience providing training and consultancy services across statutory, voluntary and private sector organisations.


Bespoke training,  consultancy and advice is available, focusing on:-

  • Creating the conditions to enable lived experience to drive positive change strategically and practically;
  • Understanding where an organisation is at within this work, where they want to get there and the steps required to achieve success;

  • Embedding lived experience in leadership and governance systems and structures;
  • Supporting people with lived experience to flourish within a range of lived experience roles.
