Speakers

Mark Joyce is the Commissioning and Performance Lead for the Northumbria PCC’s Violence Reduction Unit, and a Programme Lead for Changing Futures Northumbria. His focus is on how more integrated approaches to cross cutting partnership working can provide individuals and communities with the ability to thrive and also shape commissioning and service delivery.

He has previously worked across the public and voluntary, community and social enterprise sectors in addiction, homelessness, criminal justice, and youth work services.

Mark led on the development of the partnership that delivers the Changing Futures Northumbria programme bringing together Local Authorities, Health and VCSE colleagues across leadership, commissioning, and operational delivery. The arrangements across the wider Changing Futures Northumbria partnership create the environment for the delivery of the Liberated Method to take place. In turn this provides the opportunity to understand the leadership, commissioning and evaluation requirements needed to facilitate relational public services.
