Worked for organisations including Somerset Film ‘Generations Together’ Cabinet Office of third sector; Creativity Works as key worker during transition from North East Somerset Arts (NESA) in 2003-09; I designed, delivered projects and published books contributing towards regional portfolio organisation status. I designed, delivered and evaluated many projects working with people most disenfranchised in society; at risk vulnerable, young people and families, people with mental health, drugs, alcohol, poverty, social isolation, abuse with deprivation issues and multiple challenges in their lives. I myself experience some of the same issues and challenges as those I work with gaining insights and empathy.
