On that random note, lets handover 2 our host @GrowingHopeUK to kick us off with question 1 #OTalk https://t.co/qYp1q9j3Wl |

| GrowingHope @GrowingHopeUK Our first question of the evening is… What has the impact of COVID-19 been on your client base? How have you seen austerity play out for clients that you’re working with? #OTalk https://t.co/loQWc1oni8 |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Question 1 of tonights #OTalk |
| Katie Moffat (She/Her) @Katie_Moffat @OTalk_ @Kirstie_OT @GrowingHopeUK Hello all! Hoping to drop in where I can this evening! I loved my role emerging placement last year and hoping to learn more about the charity sector. #OTalk |
 | Nina Franziska (she/her) @ninafoxglove @OTalk_ @Kirstie_OT @GrowingHopeUK Joining #OTalk for some food for thought about Occupational Therapy roles in charities |
 | Chantelle Martin 🟢ccupational Therapist @chaniedavies @StripyLightCIC @OTalk_ @Kirstie_OT @GrowingHopeUK Lurking but running out of steam #OTalk |
| GrowingHope @GrowingHopeUK Absolutely, we've found parents and families have found it really hard and there has been a greater demand for services too. We have found that schools have been more open to joining zoom sessions with parents which has been great #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Dont forget those #OTalk hashtags. Please include it in EVERY tweet or reply so we can see your contributions 👌 |
 | Carrie Sant OT @carrie_sant @GrowingHopeUK I've seen an increase in social isolation and occupational deprivation as services have closed and people been forced to stay at home #OTalk |
| GrowingHope @GrowingHopeUK @Ceca_Rundle We agree. We love working with those in NHS and local authority but it can be difficult to connect easily #OTalk |
| Chantelle Martin 🟢ccupational Therapist @chaniedavies @carrie_sant @GrowingHopeUK Same #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ @OT_Jim Why thank you 😂 #Otalk |
| GrowingHope @GrowingHopeUK #OTalk Research suggests that austerity often impacts the most vulnerable. We think the charity sector is well placed to bridge gaps in healthcare provision for vulnerable individuals. Read more here: https://t.co/mSGVG2WMJC |
| Chantelle Martin 🟢ccupational Therapist @chaniedavies @OTalk_ @OT_rach @GrowingHopeUK So tired I thought you meant the animal not chocolate bar #OTalk 🤦♀️ |
| GrowingHope @GrowingHopeUK @chaniedavies @carrie_sant We have seen this particularly for single parent families and carers who have limited support networks #OTalk |
| GrowingHope @GrowingHopeUK Our second question of the evening is… Do you know of any other charities or organisations who are providing occupational therapy for free to meet a gap for their client group? #OTalk https://t.co/WU748U9zFq |
| Chantelle Martin 🟢ccupational Therapist @chaniedavies @OTalk_ Oops #OTalk https://t.co/tpCaQqoxX8 |
| Sam Pywell @smileyfacehalo RT @OTalk_: Question 1 of tonights #OTalk |
| Carrie Sant OT @carrie_sant @GrowingHopeUK @chaniedavies Yes. I have spoken with parents whose adult children have not been able to attend their usual day service provision and so they have been full time carers with no break or support for 12 months + #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Haha just for clarification... I (@Kirstie_OT) have been eating the chocolate biscuit penguins, not actual real life penguins 😂😂 #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Question 2 #OTalk |
| Carrie Sant OT @carrie_sant @OTalk_ Nope! #OTalk |
| GrowingHope @GrowingHopeUK We're not really sure of anyone else who is doing similar work with Children and Families but we're interested to know about other gaps that potentially exist and could be met by charities #OTalk |
| Chantelle Martin 🟢ccupational Therapist @chaniedavies @GrowingHopeUK #OTalk also hear the fear, concern and growing need for funding in community sector to continue to thrive and be part of changing community health. Health services constrained and fire fighting |
 | Toks O @TokunboTweetz @GrowingHopeUK Where are you based? #OTalk |
| GrowingHope @GrowingHopeUK @chaniedavies What does your social enterprise do? #OTalk |
| GrowingHope @GrowingHopeUK @Ceca_Rundle Yes so true - often OT seems to be delivered under a different name in the charity sector #OTalk |
| GrowingHope @GrowingHopeUK @KarenHorridge and her colleagues found that families of children with additional needs have experienced cuts in services. We set up Growing Hope to try and help meet this gap. Read more here: https://t.co/GikSIyZ8JF #OTalk |
| GrowingHope @GrowingHopeUK @TokunboTweetz We currently run clinics in King's Cross (Camden & Islington) and Brockley (Lewisham & Southwark) in London. But we're hoping to set up 20 clinics across the UK by 2030 #OTalk |
| GrowingHope @GrowingHopeUK We are loving hearing all of your responses to our questions. We are now moving onto question 3… What are the benefits of responding to client needs through the charity sector? #OTalk https://t.co/TV5G0WoVvr |
| GrowingHope @GrowingHopeUK @AnneAddisonOT Yes Newlife are a great support for equipment #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Question 3 #OTalk |
| GrowingHope @GrowingHopeUK @carrie_sant Yes - we would love to see that too! #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Time flies....Were half way through tonights official #OTalk hour already, thank you everyone for all your tweets & sharing so far. https://t.co/Nw4RfYk5F2 |
| Toks O @TokunboTweetz @GrowingHopeUK @KarenHorridge This is incredible. Can’t believe I haven’t heard of you before. The cuts have meant that existing services tighten their threshold meaning many are left with the help they need!#OTalk |
| Carrie Sant OT @carrie_sant @GrowingHopeUK I find that provision can be more flexible and responsible to the needs of the people they are trying to support #OTalk |
| Chantelle Martin 🟢ccupational Therapist @chaniedavies @OTalk_ #OTalk thriving communities for the community.... Tackling health inequalities in non medical way, increasing hope opportunity by the citizens (?) for the citizens based on need and gaps in Stat services |
| GrowingHope @GrowingHopeUK @Lauren_kenton15 Yes we find that. We try to prioritise the whole family (parents/ carers/ siblings) in the work that we do and find that more relationship building over time helps us to see better outcomes for the families we work with #OTalk |
| Toks O @TokunboTweetz @GrowingHopeUK WoW! Marvellous! Thank you and well done! This is so needed. Are services for clients who live in those boroughs? Or are surrounding boroughs considered? #OTalk |
| GrowingHope @GrowingHopeUK @OT_Francesca @bounceot Sounds great! A brilliant organisation #OTalk |
| GrowingHope @GrowingHopeUK @carrie_sant Yes completely. We love that we can provide support for physical skills (E.g. tying laces) alongside more mental health related needs (e.g. self esteem) #OTalk |
| GrowingHope @GrowingHopeUK @EstherDark3 Absolutely, we find that lots of children we support don't have a diagnosis and may not meet other criteria but the families really appear to value and benefit from support #OTalk |
| GrowingHope @GrowingHopeUK #OTalk There are opportunities to support the whole family when they are facing challenges. This report has guided our decision making during the pandemic: https://t.co/9crn8PIHvW @Autism |
| Toks O @TokunboTweetz @GrowingHopeUK Accessibility. And a personalised approach. Sometimes the limited resources and pressures in the public sector can result in process led practice. Whereas my experiences of the charity sector have always been positive and felt passion led #OTalk |
| GrowingHope @GrowingHopeUK We can’t wait to hear your answers to this question… What does the occupational therapist role in the charity sector look like? #OTalk https://t.co/cmfHhfGVUO |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Question 4 #OTalk |
| GrowingHope @GrowingHopeUK Some people have already started to answer this question but we'd love to hear about any other roles which provide OT but don't have an OT title #OTalk |
| Chantelle Martin 🟢ccupational Therapist @chaniedavies @GrowingHopeUK #OTalk for my role (primary care) connecting with and supporting this sector to improve access and awareness... Maybe support if required but shared equal partners in getting what is best for pt and community. And a bit of gp education in what is available |
 | dave ogden @DaveDaoggio RT @GrowingHopeUK: Our second question of the evening is… Do you know of any other charities or organisations who are providing occupational therapy for free to meet a gap for their client group? #OTalk https://t.co/WU748U9zFq |
| Chantelle Martin 🟢ccupational Therapist @chaniedavies @GrowingHopeUK #OTalk and obvs being a quick in referral for them |
| Toks O @TokunboTweetz @GrowingHopeUK Basically true occupational therapy in its purest form. Fewer restrictions in being creative, innovative and person centred. And an increased ability to be inclusive. #OTalk |
| GrowingHope @GrowingHopeUK @carrie_sant @EstherDark3 Yes completely - we find the charity sector gives freedom to provide a more holistic level of support #OTalk |
| GrowingHope @GrowingHopeUK @Lauren_kenton15 Yes. We have found being able to work as an MDT and provide other services (physio, speech, music therapy, counselling) as well as our parent and sibling support groups as essential to supporting families well alongside OT #OTalk |
| GrowingHope @GrowingHopeUK @chaniedavies This sounds like an excellent role. Educating GP's and other potential referral sources we have found to be helpful. We have an open referral process so that self referral and professional referral is possible #OTalk |
| GrowingHope @GrowingHopeUK And our final question of the evening is… How can therapists working within the charity sector connect with NHS teams to provide further intervention for individuals who need support? We want to work with you all to reach children who are in need of occupational therapy. #OTalk https://t.co/srfciOfSxz |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Question 5 #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ @ot_annie Dont forget to include the #Otalk hashtag in all your tweets so they show up in the chat 👌 |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ 10 minutes left of tonights #OTalk with @GrowingHopeUK. Do we have any final thoughts or takeaway messages? https://t.co/T81T1tRpob |
| Toks O @TokunboTweetz @GrowingHopeUK Shouting (promoting) about what you are doing/offering. As I say, I hadn’t heard of @GrowingHopeUK before and you’re based in a borough that neighbours the one I work in. Also, hosting an #OTalk helps, because now I know 😉 |
| GrowingHope @GrowingHopeUK @EstherDark3 Thanks! We have done some training with NHS teams & have recently developed a course called When Dreams Change which helps parents and carers to explore what its like for their hopes and dreams to change because of their child's needs #OTalk |
| Chantelle Martin 🟢ccupational Therapist @chaniedavies @GrowingHopeUK #OTalk I see primary care as an option to OTs if in post but would also like to see a review of some of the beurocracy with outdated referral pathways reviewed in h and SC... I know... Dream with creative leaders and increased personalised care and less data gathering |
| GrowingHope @GrowingHopeUK @TokunboTweetz Great thanks! feel free to refer anyone in our area. We're also interested to hear from OT's who may like to open a Growing Hope clinic #OTalk |
| GrowingHope @GrowingHopeUK It is nearly time to finish our #OTalk. It has been wonderful to connect and chat with you all. Do any of you have any final questions or comments? |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @GrowingHopeUK: It is nearly time to finish our #OTalk. It has been wonderful to connect and chat with you all. Do any of you have any final questions or comments? |
| GrowingHope @GrowingHopeUK @chaniedavies Completely. We'd love to see referral pathways that are more integrated too #OTalk |
| Chantelle Martin 🟢ccupational Therapist @chaniedavies @GrowingHopeUK I would also like to see pathways from community orgs with social prescribers and a direct connection to OT to join it all up. #OTalk |
