Consultancy
People United is developing a programme of services that it offers other organisations and bodies. We have extensive experience in developing practical and innovative programmes of work around the arts and social engagement and community cohesion.
We currently offer:
- Talks / Presentations: People United founder and CEO, Tom Andrews, regularly presents examples of People United's work as well as describing the successes and challenges of running a small, community-focused arts organisation.
- Consultancy / Mentoring: People United offers one-to-one mentoring and consultancy for individuals and organisations keen on exploring how the arts and creativity can bring about social change.
People United has worked with a range of arts organisations, community groups and local authorities.
It was a great pleasure to work with Tom Andrews on our Happiness project... He managed to support us through our moments of uncertainty and grumpiness, keeping us focussed on the importance of work which looks at altruism in a totally non judgemental and perceptive way. We worked with Tom over a six month period and found his knowledge about the subject and obvious enthusiasm a real inspiration. Northern Stage would have no hesitation in recommending People United to anyone interested in developing work in this area.

Just to say thank you on so much for Lucy's input - we are now full of fresh ideas to work in alongside some of our more traditional approaches. Lucy is extremely generous with her ideas and brings out the very best in everyone.

Tom is enthusiastic, ambitious and very open. His conviction that kindness can bring about social change is inspirational and his experience a valuable resource to anyone who wants to understand anything about engaging creatively with communities and community cohesion.
