I work with museums, heritage sites, churches and science centres to engage with their local communities & also with communities to discover and engage with their heritage.  This is through the development and delivery of projects ranging from multi-million pound redevelopments to volunteer-led projects.

• Volunteers: recruiting, developing, retaining
• Museum MOT: healthchecking organisations
• Policies/compliance: protecting museums
• Developing family friendly museums
• Learning for all ages
• Interpretation planning for audiences

With twenty years of hands-on heritage and museum experience, I pride myself in taking the mystery out of managing heritage, developing practical strategies that leave organisations stronger, more sustainable, and able to look forward to a feasible future.
