Company Manager

I led the creation and  the implementation of the strategic plan and day to day management of Looking Well Studios, a community use building.  This included developing partnerships within education, arts, third sector, health and social care, informing and influencing decision makers in local government, sector specific networks and groupings.  I fundraised through grants/trust and foundations, securing contracts, initiating social enterprise activity and individual giving initiatives and oversaw infrastructure development including data management and storage, marketing and PR, internal systems, outcome monitoring and measurement, customer feedback and satisfaction.  

Key successes:
I produced My Last CARnival in association with 509 Arts for the Cultural Olympiad in 2014.  You can view a Prezi here to find out more about my approach.
I raised £132K from Reaching Communities to establish a new Arts & Dementia programme in North Yorkshire, Own Now
