UCL Public Policy's Sinéad Murphy awarded funding from Mental Health and Wellbeing Project
17 April 2024
We are excited to announce, Sinéad Murphy, Policy Engagement Coordinator, has been awarded funding from the Grand Challenge of Mental Health & Wellbeing Network and Community Building for project: Heads Together - Community Building for Non-Visible Illness and Disability.
The project will facilitate critical engagement with how disability is noticed and lived through a creative community-building project at UCL. It is particularly aimed at those working with a non-visible illness: the neurological condition chronic migraine, which affects more than 1 million people in the UK.
The work will be undertaken in collaboration with Dr Nicole Brown (UCL IOE) and outcomes will be discussed with The Migraine Trust, the UK’s migraine charity.
A call for participants in the workshops will follow in May and participants will be remunerated for their time. The project is particularly aimed at chronic migraine patients within the UCL staff community, but is also open to others who identify as having a non-visible illness or disability. If you would like to be involved, and/or to find out more about the project, please contact Sinéad Murphy.
