Event Management
Our inclusive approach to event management allows our clients to have freedom of expression bringing their ideas to fruition while we provide help and advice on planning and managing their event. Unlike many other event management companies we will work with grass roots groups as well as major organisations. We have been involved in a number of events in the past and as an employee of Blyth Valley Borough Council and Northumberland County Council, Paul Taylor has been a member of event management teams and has lead on some projects, including opening ceremonies, Christmas lights switch on events, and summer fairs. We have very good contacts with a number of companies who provide entertainment and concessions for events and have a good working relationship with staff within Northumberland County Council, in the legal department, public protection department, highways, street scene and the community safety team. Grants / Funding Advice
With over ten years experience of working with charitable trusts and foundations, as well as European union funding. We set out to make the application process for clients as easy as possible. We have specialist resources to identify funders to fit our clients needs and in some instances we can offer a free service to smaller groups. Community Development
Since the formation of a single unitary authority in Northumberland, much of the community work undertaken by the former district councils has been lost due to budgetary constraints. We will set out to address the gaps left by this shift, and re-introduce grass roots support for community organisations
Community Consultation
We can help a wide range of organisations such as parish / town councils get closer to their communities by offering grass roots community consultation at a door to door level. We have be-spoke consultation tool kits and documentation to ask the questions our clients would like answers to. Business customers can also benefit from our experience and knowledge of the local area as our community consultation service is an effective vehicle to market their products and services.
