Freelancing in arts, health, community engagement
I have 25 years’ experience of working with organisations in the public, voluntary and non-profit sectors to find creative approaches to engaging communities differently. I have worked in hospitals, businesses and research settings, with charities and funders to help them connect better with the people they serve.

I work with organisations to give them the space to think about things differently. Sometimes this can be a fairly brief piece of consultation. Sometimes it is for a longer period working in house. I specialise in helping bring to the surface the perspectives of people whose views have often been overlooked or excluded.

Let's Collaborate is founded in my belief that bringing together communities, organisations and experts through creativity is the key to tackling society's biggest challenges. Too often, fear, vested interests and laziness get in the way of meaningful collaboration. Creativity, community and collaboration can enable us to try new ways of working and build courage and confidence.
I have worked for over 25 years in arts management, facilitation and systems change. My work has always focused on helping people and organisations see things differently through collaborating in new ways. My career has been varied; from establishing the UK's first ever in-patient hospital dance programme getting thousands of patients, doctors and nurses to dance together, to designing and delivering an innovative funding scheme supporting social movements to campaign for change in health systems.
I do not describe myself as a consultant. Wherever possible I work with other experts whose values I share. Trying to bring an equity focused approach to my work is important to me. Most of all, I believe work can be joyful and look to find ways to instil joy and kindness in work.
I will always be creative, I listen hard, think hard and apply a creative lens to bring new perspectives into focus. I translate what I hear into tangible opportunities for action - and I deliver change that lasts.
