From September to December 2022, Danielle Agnello (ESR 3) took part in her first secondment with an organisation in Scotland called Journey Associates (JA). JA is a dynamic design-led innovation consultancy helping organisations to make real changes for the better, and they have worked with various clients, such as British Council, Save the Children, the NHS, and others. While Danielle was with them, she worked closely with their Managing Director, Catherine Docherty, on two key projects. The first project was the evaluation of the impact of Alzehimer Scotland’s Outdoor Resource Centre, which provides free and accessible nature-based activities to support people living with Dementia. The other was assessing the current services and co-creating the strategic direction for Simon Community Scotland, which provides information, advice, care, support, and accommodation to people experiencing homelessness. Both projects provided a unique experience for Danielle to get involved in co-creating with unique target groups, as well as a great opportunity to be mentored by Catherine.
