Charities/Social Enterprises
Working across a range of charities, including Comic Relief, John Lyon’s Trust and Big Local. Providing strategic audits, communications action plans, and bespoke training.
Boston Big Local
As part of the work with Local Trust (strategic communication audits with 5 Big Local's) I worked with Boston Big Local. After an initial introductory call and a completed pre workshop questionnaire I prepared and ran a half day communications workshop. As an outcome of the workshop I competed a two year communications action plan for Boston Big Local.
"I want to thank Ollie on behalf of Boston Big Local for such an interesting workshop today, time really did seem to fly by and I'm sure we could have happily continued for several days! It really was useful to have Ollie's expertise which helped us focus on what measures we need to take to improve our message and get it out there. I'm sure I speak on behalf of the residents when I say a huge thank you! We look forward to welcoming Ollie back to Boston in the near future."
Richard Tory - Chairman
Independent Arts
I have worked with Independent Arts as part of the strategic communications work with Comic Relief. To date I have produced a communications action plan for them and a communications strategy for their recent social prescribing pilot. One of the main recommendations from the strategy is that the Independent Arts put together a well-being hub for Newport on the Isle of Wight.
"Independent Arts has commissioned Oliver on two occasions now - both when time was of the essence, requiring him to produce a comprehensive organisational Communications Strategy at very short notice and to really tight deadlines. On both occasions, Oliver excelled, immediately grasping the requirements of the brief and coming up with an excellent response in the form of a Communications Action Plan which when implemented, hit every one of our targets. I would recommend him to Third Sector organisations for the speed, cost efficiency and proven results of his work."

Mediatrust
I have worked as a lead consultant for Mediatrust for around ten years. Over that time I have worked on many projects such as communications team planning for Big Lottery, as a strategic consultant for Comic Relief, John Lyon's Trust and Big Local. As well I produced a business and marketing plan for Euradia, the European Diabetes Research Agency.
John Lyons
As part of the John Lyons’s communications capacity building work I ran a communications workshop and delivered a two year action plan. This work is ongoing and I act as a retained consultant.
"Oliver has helped us map out a comprehensive marketing strategy for our organisation. With great ideas and insights he has equipped us with the right tools to move forward."
