Every Thursday I spend time at a local charity sharing my skills and experience in community support and development. A community can be as big or small as you like. The communities I generally work with are charities, community groups, social housing providers or local authorities.

I am a Social Anthropologist so have expertise in how communities work. The specific work I do could be anything from research or consultation; designing projects to help different sectors of a community work together; project managing - once the project is up and running; monitoring the project to prove that it works; evaluating projects to see what we learned from the process or even raising funds (I am a professional fundraiser too) to ensure it is sustainable. On Thursdays, I work for free. I am happy to do this, I give something back for my own good fortune.
