Having worked for organisations for 30 years, I am utilising my drive for systems change, my skills, experience and global relationships to shift perception of the work place.
Organisations set up to work with communities, are experiencing unprecedented challenges. Retention, recruitment, compassion fatigue and low levels of staff engagement, have become ‘stuck’ systemic issues.
Through my high support / high challenge approach, I have the ability and experience of enabling organisations to refocus on relationships, making purpose conscious, sustaining meaning to contribute to other people.
Leaning into complexity and learning how to transcend the multiple systemic paradoxes needs a collective perspective shift, which I am able to facilitate.
I have worked with multiple organisations including SWIM, Turning Point, Sussex Uni, Brighton Uni, Voice 21, Women in Prison and the International Bateson Institute,. I have helped foster values based leadership and behaviours, radical include marginalised groups and evoke confidence in collaborative action to elicit transformative change across communities.
In the last organisation I worked for, I worked systemically to bring significant culture change over 3 years, to focus board governance not only on legal and financial duties, but in the needs of excluded groups in uncertain and complex times. I trained 400 leaders in complex decision making, values led leadership and relational governing. The implementation of ethical decision making and just and fair cultural practices directly impacted on women and people with origins in the global majority in the workforce and groups who have never been provided for in communities, including SE Asian women and black men.
Creating a community around the most marginalised: older and homeless people and anyone who is loneliest.
SAY Women offers safe semi-supported accommodation and emotional support for young women aged 16 to 25 who are survivors of sexual abuse, rape or sexual assault and who are homeless, or threatened with homelessness.
We help people build power to spark movements for change in their communities – because when they do, problems get solved, lives become better and prospects improve.
This is not just about creating close-knit communities, but communities that are ambitious for their members’ health and happiness.

Community Catalysts works in partnerships across the UK to try to make sure that people can be part of strong, inclusive, communities with real opportunities to connect, create and contribute. We work to ensure people can get help and care in ways, times and places that suit them, with a real choice of attractive local options. We help local people use their energies and talents and to establish enterprises and ventures. We use our expertise to help communities, organisations, authorities and policy makers to deliver transformational change in services or systems. We are often commissioned, contracted or funded by public, third or private sector organisations.
Our work themesWe group what we do into three main themes:
Communities Care We help people and communities across the country to use their talents to start and run small enterprises and community businesses that support and offer care to other local people. They create good local jobs and keep local money local. They help people live a good life, connected with and contributing to their community.
People Can
People sometimes need support to live their lives. The help they need can overshadow their skills. This waste of talent hurts the person, their community and society. We help people dream and make things happen. We help local organisations to create the conditions in which people can follow their dreams.
We work with people with experience of homelessness, offering opportunities to contribute to society and create solutions to homelessness.
We help people build power to spark movements for change in their communities – because when they do, problems get solved, lives become better and prospects improve.
