Creative Facilitation & Organisational Development
I bring creative arts-based approaches to organisational development, helping teams and leaders in arts, charity, and education sectors unlock collaboration, clarity, and momentum. Drawing from my background as an arts educator, music producer, and founder of Arts Education Exchange and Co founder of Tend Toward Justice CIC, I use participatory methods like visual mapping, sound experimentation, and embodied exercises to address real organisational challenges.
This isn't generic consulting, it's co-creative work grounded in your context, blending rigour with play to build sustainable cultures and strategies.
Who This is For
My facilitation and development work supports:
- Arts charities and cultural orgs navigating funding changes, team growth, or mission alignment.
- Community organisations and CICs seeking stronger collaborative practices and evaluation frameworks.
- Education teams or networks designing inclusive, creative curriculum or professional development.
If you're leading or supporting values-led work but stuck in silos, burnout, or unclear next steps, these approaches help you move forward together.
What I Offer
Tailored packages blending facilitation, strategy, and creative process:
- Team Workshops (half/full day): Custom sessions on collaboration, visioning, or adaptive strategy using arts-based tools (£250 - £400).
- Facilitation Days: Hold space for planning retreats, awaydays, or difficult conversations (£500 per day).
- Development Programmes (3 - 6 months): Embedded support for culture-building, grant readiness, or org-wide change (£).
All online or in-person (Kent/SE England focus), with trauma-informed and inclusive practices. Flexible pricing including sliding scale - let's discuss your needs.
How It Works
My USP is arts-based methods that make complex work accessible:
- Visual & embodied mapping to surface shared values and blockages.
- Sound and rhythm exercises for group cohesion and fresh perspectives (inspired by my music production practice).
- Iterative prototyping to test strategies before full commitment.
This draws directly from my work with Arts Council England grants, workshop design for Arts Education Exchange, and Tend Toward Justice's social justice focus — practical creativity for real impact.
Client Stories
“One of the most powerful moments came when we realised, through Ollie’s facilitation, that many of the “conflicts” we felt were actually shared hopes expressed in different languages. That insight changed how we listen and move forward together.”
— Director, Neurodivergent led Arts Charity, South East
“We have worked with Ollie over several months. Ollie has really helped us to open up our thinking, reflect and plan forward. Ollie spent time really listening to us and understanding our organisation, and then helped us to implement systems, strategies and ways of working that reflect our values as a Neurodivergent-affirming organisation, as well as our team’s needs. These kind of spaces to think as an organisation are too rare, and it has been blessing and a huge support to have Ollie's thoughtful, creative and responsive guidance when we needed it most.”
— Education Network Lead
