Beech, our step down service for people who have been discharged from our inpatient wards, has converted a previously unused space into a new 24 hour gym area for people staying at the site.

The equipment was funded by kind donations to Sheffield Hospitals Charity and includes a rowing machine, treadmill, air bike and boxing pads.

And the team has even more plans to help service users get moving, thanks to the £500 we raised during our collective charity marathon, or charathon, last December!

We hear from four members of the lived experience research partnership (LERP).

The LERP is a group of people with an interest in research and lived experience of mental health. Together they help support our research development unit to ensure that coproduction and the voices of people with lived experience are at the heart of our research work.

In the podcast, Ellie, Emily, Gabby and Steve discuss:

• SHSC’s research development unit and its work
• Lived experience involvement in research and its benefits
• Ellie’s role as a dedicated lived experience research ambassador and the progress of lived experience involvement
• The LERP and how to get involved
