My clients have included The Sheffield College, Kirklees Safer Stronger Communities Partnership, Kirklees Neighbourhood Management, Wakefield District Community Safety Partnership and The Department of Health.
The Sheffield College
The Sheffield College in South Yorkshire provides academic and vocational courses for young people, adults and employers. The college has clinched a raft of awards ranging from the environmental credentials of the brand new Sheffield City College campus and an enterprise and business start-up support programme for learners to the innovative Online College and sparkling talents of catering, and art and design students. My remit involves generating positive press publicity, reacting to media enquiries, handling crisis communications and writing text for various publications. Dates: part-time from 2006 and ongoing.
Kirklees Safer Stronger Communities Partnership
Kirklees Safer Stronger Communities Partnership spearheads a range of crime prevention projects and initiatives. My remit involved raising public awareness of support services available, and highlighting the progress made by agencies such as Kirklees Council and West Yorkshire Police in tackling crime in areas including Dewsbury and Huddersfield. This was achieved through ongoing press campaigns about alcohol and drugs misuse, domestic violence, anti-social behaviour, violent, hate, vehicle and doorstep crime, burglary, and a project to help women exit prostitution. Dates: part-time from 2004 to 2009.
