Projects

As a youth board member, Tanya led a volunteer participation strategic restructure project at Beyond, a youth mental health charity. By drawing on her lived experience as a Youth Board member and as a volunteer with similar organisations, she applied these to create a new volunteer strategy. Through evaluating and analysing current practices, collating feedback and incorporating insights from both within the organisation and others, she developed a redesigned approach to enhance volunteer experiences and ensure alignment to the charitable objectives.

Tanya travelled to Gibraltar for World Mental Health Day 2023 with GibSams and delivered powerful talks to students, parents, teachers and business, focusing on mental health, wellbeing and suicide prevention. Her presentations to all members of the community provided valuable insights and actionable takeaways. Attendees expressed gratitude for the opportunity to learn from Tanya's experiences, emphasising the importance of mental health education in fostering a supportive community and enhancing understanding to provide the best support possible for individuals.

With her expertise in community initiatives, events, and engagement, Tanya played a pivotal role in leading and delivering the UK's first Punjabi Mental Health Summit with Taraki. She managed a dedicated working group of volunteers, meticulously planning and executing the event. The day featured insightful panels, discussions, and activities centred on the mental health experiences of the Punjabi communities. This event fostered connection, hope, and action, encouraging shared learning and collaboration to address mental health challenges, and is one of many to come in the community.
