Client Testimonials

"Robin created an Activity Plan for our R2 National Lottery Heritage Fund application for our Living Barracks project (based in Berwick). Working with representatives from the projects four partner organisations to collectively produce a range of engagement activities covering collections conservation, co-curation and co-creation of new interpretation, events, and outreach and learning opportunities for local groups and volunteers. A challenge in itself to coordinate ideas and produce an overarching partnership approach to engagement was successful due to Robin’s structured yet relaxed workshops and knowledgeable approach. A great document with great content!"
"My class thoroughly enjoyed the workshops that Robin ran during our topic on local history. He brought in artefacts from museums that the children could actually handle. They had to describe some of the more unusual items and make an educated guess as to their use. The experience of standing with a bucket yoke around your neck and imagine carrying the milk home after milking the cattle before starting the butter churning, made it easy to appreciate how hard our ancestors way of life often was... We are now using those skills to research another local history topic and the older children are passing on their knowledge to the younger members of the class that have just joined us this year. "
"Robin possesses extensive skills in engaging with members of the community to support them in identifying what it is they wish for their community and local area and translates the passion and commitment of our communities into concise and clear plans that have been used extensively by us in a number of funding applications."
