Sally Good

CEO

Sally originally set up ASSIST as a public health programme in the NHS following the successful randomised controlled trial. In 2010 she helped to form Evidence to Impact. Sally has a wealth of knowledge about smoking prevention and all aspects of tobacco public policy. Her background in both education, as a teacher, and public health, as a programme manager has given her valuable insights into both commissioning and delivery. A people person through and through, she loves keeping up to date with our customers and stakeholders both in the UK, and latterly, overseas as ASSIST is now being piloted in France!

 Ashley Lee

Researcher

Ashley has an undergraduate degree in Experimental Psychology and a Masters by Research in Psychology from the University of Bristol. She conducts literature reviews to identify new public health interventions and also leads on background research for market appraisals and business plans we are commissioned to produce. Contact Ashley if you know of any evidence-based interventions that may be of interest to us.

Associate

Liz is an exceptional trainer and project manager who has specialised in the fields of Education, Public Health, and the Charity sector.

In a previous life, she was a Children's Public Health Specialist, focusing on drugs education for primary education establishments, secondary and alternative provisions. She also delivered the ASSIST programme for several years.

One of her highlights during this time is working with and accompanying a young group of students to BAFTA in London, where they scooped an award as part of the Cut Films national campaign, for their design and production of a creative short film to encourage their peers against taking up smoking.

Liz holds a CMI level 5 in Management and Leadership and is an advocate for challenging herself both professionally and personally, committed to her own and other people’s development. In her spare time, she loves an up-cycle project and can often be found scouring the local shops for a creative challenge.

Based in Scotland, Kirsty is well placed to deliver training and carry out Quality Assurance visits to our customers North of the border.
