Integrating sustainability into your work

  • Performing Arts venues, companies and practitioners deserve access to industry leading sustainability support.
  • Culture is underfunded and difficult decisions are being made about where to place money and resources.
  • Sustainability work is often side-lined due to competing demands, not because of lack of care.

Benefits

  • Planetary care becomes part of your business
  • Increased funding application success
  • Money saved
  • Stay industry leading, build reputation and stay relevant
  • Audience satisfaction and retention
  • Employee satisfaction and happiness
  • Attract and retain new talent
  • Protect culture for future generations

I am not a big company, it is me, working freelance. I use all of my theatre sustainability experience to support and connect theatres, artists and companies. I stay up to date with current developments in culture and sustainability and disseminate this information to those I work with.

I'll visit your business, meet your teams and work with you in person or remotely

We'd choose an area of focus:

  • Theatre Green Book (Productions / Operations / Buildings)
  • Green team
  • Biodiversity
  • Nature connectedness
  • Sustainability action planning
  • Decarbonisation
  • Accessing funding for sustainability projects
  • Connecting with audiences
  • Policy development (Sustainability, Procurement, Travel, Access)
  • …Whatever you need.

We'd set a timescale for work.

You also gain access to support via e-mails/signposting/verbal support via teams/phone included.

Sustainability, by the nature of the work, is a constantly developing and changing area. Reduce fears of greenwashing/greenwishing/greenhushing or "getting it wrong" by working with a reputable professional.

Prices starting from £350 a day.

I do not want cost to be a barrier to change. Please contact me to discuss particularly if CIC, Charity or other small business as funding opportunities for this work may be available.

Contact me to book a FREE 30 minute 1:1 session to discuss your plans.

Training

I can provide climate leadership training, and certified Carbon Literacy training using a specialised course tailored for the theatre industry.

Training can be tailored to businesses and arts organisations depending upon your existing understanding and experience.

(Full Carbon Literacy certification training typically requires a day long course.)

Contact me to find out if you might be able to receive some funded training.

Nature Connectedness and Wellbeing

  • Tree walks tailored to your area
  • Connect your staff and audiences with nature
  • Improves wellbeing - as researched by MentalHealth.org.
  • Take part as citizen scientists to document the value of trees and nature in your area. (Sopports the Treezilla project.)

From £100 per hour.

Whatever options you choose, you and your team will learn how to make a difference in their roles and embed sustainability into everything you do. My unique experience at the intersection between sustainability, accessibility and disablility enables me to work with you, empowering you to promote sustainable change through your work.
