Meet Millie, one of the stop smoking advisors helping people across Sunderland become smokefree

She has worked at Sunderland Specialist Stop Smoking Service for a couple of months now, and already she's seen the huge benefits of quitting smoking.

Millie’s advice is simple:

⭐ Don't be afraid to ask for help. You don’t have to quit smoking alone and having the right support can make all the difference.

⭐ Take one day at a time. Try not to put too much pressure on yourself and focus on each day as it comes.

⭐ Be kind to yourself. Quitting can be challenging so don’t feel embarrassed if you find it tough.

It was a pleasure to welcome Alison Hume MP for Scarborough and Whitby, to our BeU North Yorkshire service last week.

During the visit, we walked Alison through our young people’s autism assessment pathway, discussing how our dedicated team supports children, young people and their families across Scarborough, Ryedale and Whitby.

The visit was also a valuable opportunity to share insights from our broader neurodiversity work, including our adult autism service in Norfolk - where our navigation team helps clients build strategies that make life more manageable, long before a diagnosis. Across both regions, our focus remains on clear, neuro-affirming support and providing people with the help they deserve.

Thank you to Alison Hume MP for spending time with us, and to the team members who led the visit: Lucy Leppington-Green, Alison Husler, Nick Warnett and Beth Amos.
