Consultancy services
We offer flexible, tailored consultancy across our areas of professional development – working in collaboration with organisations to explore challenges, unlock ideas and support change.
Our team have particular expertise in:
Safeguarding policy and development, creative facilitation, youth voice and leadership, evaluation frameworks, inclusion strategies, creative project management, wellbeing, leadership development, and behaviour management.
We recognise that sometimes an external perspective can be invaluable in driving meaningful change.
We approach consultancy as critical friends – providing space to think, reflect and ask bold questions. Our role isn’t to dictate or deliver ready-made answers, but to walk alongside your team as you shape solutions that work for your setting.
Whether supporting policy development, evaluating existing practice, or introducing fresh approaches to inclusion and engagement, we bring decades of sector experience while staying grounded in real-world creative practice. The work we do directly with young people informs our consultancy, keeping us connected to the realities of the sector and ensuring our advice is both practical and relevant.
Whether you’re reviewing current practice, developing strategy or exploring new ways to embed inclusion and engagement, we bring a fresh perspective that’s grounded in lived sector experience. Our continued work with young people helps keep our consultancy honest, informed and rooted in reality.
We’ve partnered with museums, theatre companies, libraries, galleries and more to support their professional development journeys. If you’re looking for thoughtful collaboration with people who understand the sector from the inside, we’d love to support you.

Young consultants
If you’re looking for a fresh perspective on your organisation from young minds, we also offer a young consultants service, which links with you with young people who have all been part of one of our programmes previously who can help bring clarity to some of your biggest questions.
