Can I encourage any other @QStepLeeds students, past or present to speak to Sophie if asked. She is working on developing a network for Leeds Qsteppers. She's so friendly and has some great ideas.

What a brilliant day! Thoroughly enjoyed it. Glad I stayed for the whole day. Especially pleased to hear that @QStepLeeds has got funding for another 2 years. #IdeasinPractice #LUBSevent

[Q-Step Leeds @QStepLeeds]

@sgallacher65 @NuffieldFound Thanks Simon - a brilliant presentation as always. Thanks for all your contributions today - it was a really useful and enjoyable event for us.

[asensiblename 💙 @asensiblename]

Just had it pointed out to me that I am presenting at this event. So, if anyone fancies listening to a (slightly surprised) person telling you how @QStepLeeds helped me find an amazing career (quite true), do come along.

[Chris Forde @ChrisFordeLeeds]

There are still places available at this event on Friday, organised by @LeedsUniBSchool and @QStepLeeds

@writing_back @QStepLeeds @chimpfromthezoo Fascinating, thank you for this detailed response! The loneliness theme overlaps with some of what we found in our resilience study at the University; perhaps we could share findings?

[Writing Back @writing_back]

@Parkendlydia @QStepLeeds @chimpfromthezoo Hi Lydia, yes, nearly all UGs are studying English or with English degrees from across all years of study (1-4 incl years in industry/abroad - although letter writing might lapse during year out). All UGs are from @LeedsUniEnglish but a few might have changed degrees.

[Lydia Bleasdale @Parkendlydia]

@writing_back @QStepLeeds @chimpfromthezoo Lots of really interesting data there (and I love the project!). Were UG respondents drawn across different years of study? And are you able to look at the data across subject areas? Thanks in advance :)

@QStepLeeds testimonial from @Liv_Archer on placement at @thackraymuseum: "QStep has taught me so many new skills, from data analysis to the organisation and research skills needed to be successful working in museums"

[Writing Back @writing_back]

Today is the final day of our @QStepLeeds intern @chimpfromthezoo's placement. Jonathan's report on our data shows that whilst our #penpals try to stay involved with things, our students in particular would like more companionship or contact with others. #EndLoneliness #BeMoreUs

[Dr Rachel Crossdale @rachelxdale]

Great to hear that the @QStepLeeds @NuffieldFound #summerpacement students are settled into their projects and enjoying their work #qstep #rstats
