Message-ID: <c896de04-62b4-40a5-b550-fab327a8765b@stronsaylimpet.co.uk>

Testing the EASE App

The Scottish Union of Supported Employment (SUSE 
https://www.suse.org.uk)  is developing an App and we are inviting 
disabled people who may benefit from using the app to register to be one 
of the first users and help test and improve the app before its general 
release in 2026.
  The EASE project is intended to contribute to reducing the Disability 
Employment Gap by increasing the number of disabled people who 
successfully sustain paid employment.
  EASE is an app for disabled people in employment. The app will connect 
disabled employees to support and resources, with the aim of empowering 
them to stay well and succeed in their jobs.
  The EASE App is being designed to enable disabled workers to assess 
their wellbeing based on a range of categories relevant to their 
employment and get help quickly if needed. Its purpose is to facilitate 
Early Action to Sustain Employment (EASE).

Early users of the app will get access to all the resources and support 
links but will also help development by answering some quick questions 
and providing feedback on what is working well in the app and what could 
be better.
  To register to test the App, go to 
https://www.suse.org.uk/what-we-do/current-projects/ease-app/ and scroll 
down to the form. For more information, please email info at susescotland.scot

 From NHS Orkney on Facebook:

Real Life Story: Courtney Peace (McCheyne-Robb) - Project Manager
For Courtney, joining NHS Orkney was about coming home. Originally from 
Stronsay, she had spent 10 years living in Grampian before deciding to 
return to Orkney. “I’d been working remotely for NHS Grampian from 
Orkney for two years, but I wanted to work for NHS Orkney because I’m 
invested in what happens here. The work feels more meaningful when you 
can see the positive impact on your own community.”
Courtney joined NHS Orkney in June as a Clinical Governance Support 
Officer, stepping into a role that gave her new experiences and insights 
into a different side of the NHS. “I was involved in things I’d never 
done before and worked alongside a fantastic team.”
Recently, she moved into her current role as Project Manager within the 
Improvement Hub team. “It’s an exciting change, and I’m looking forward 
to getting settled in and contributing to projects that improve care for 
everyone.”
Living in Orkney has been just as rewarding as working here: “I love the 
close-knit nature and sense of community. It’s easy to form deep 
friendships, and there’s a shared culture that makes it easy to connect 
with people. Plus, the island environment creates a healthy work-life 
balance - nature is right on your doorstep.”
Courtney also enjoys learning about Orkney’s history and heritage: “It’s 
fascinating and always useful knowledge to have.”
Her proudest moment? “Joining NHS Orkney. I finally felt right at home.”

Message-ID: <52d1f3a4-58e2-4516-af0f-a7efed3b561f@stronsaylimpet.co.uk>

/From Stronsay Healthy Living Centre:/
Today we have had a water leak in the healthy living centre caused by a 
blockage in the toilet. This has been reported. Until repaired the 
toilet will be out of action. It also appears that persons are still 
accessing the HLC to use the showers only even though they have no 
membership. If this continues then we will need to get an additional 
internal code lock fitted. The present internal door code should not be 
shared by anyone other than HLC staff.
Also someone has been using the free weights and has caused damage to 
the gym carpet. The weights are also being left on the weight rack which 
is a danger to other users. All equipment should be returned to its 
orginal position before you leave. Persons using the free weights should 
always have an adult (over 16) spotter with them.
The HLC is a valuable asset to the island but if people can't abide by 
basic rules there will need to be stricter application of both the buddy 
system and who can gain access. Any new members must first arrange an 
induction with the Fitness Advisor so the rules can be highlighted.

🎄 Royal Mail Post 🎄
I will be at Unit 3, Woods Yard, tomorrow night (Wednesday 24th), from 
7pm - 7:30pm if anyone still needs any last minute presents that might 
arrive, before I go home to a glass of wine and to track 🎅 on the 
computer and start getting excited for his arrival! Feel free to give me 
a shout to see if you have anything to collect if you want.
