A lifelong sports fan, I support charities and community organisations creating positive social impact, helping them strengthen their work, secure funding and build clear, realistic plans. Based in Shropshire, I work with clients across the country.
While I support organisations across different sectors, much of my work, knowledge and experience sits within the health and wellbeing space, particularly where sport and physical activity are used to engage and strengthen communities, increase opportunities and reduce inequalities. This is often referred to as sport for change, alongside adopting a public health lens.
In addition to physical activity, sport for change can take on many forms, such as sporting reminiscence sessions for adults living with memory-related conditions, sport-based talking groups for people experiencing loneliness, diversionary physical activities to reduce risk of violence or harm, or themed weight management programmes designed to engage specific communities and reduce obesity. These, along with many others, are real examples of my own professional experiences.
The organisations I support are all amazing. They are all deeply embedded in their communities, with strong relationships and trust and I am profoundly grateful that I get to share their journeys. In many cases however, they either have an existing offer that could be strengthened, or a well-engaged audience and a desire to grow. This is where my experience in health and wellbeing can add value, helping to develop programmes and ideas that improves outcomes for communities while also opening up opportunities for new partnerships, increased profile and sustainable income.
