With Melanie M
I am a freelance writer with a passion for making a difference. My background is over 30 years in the social care / social work fields, also as a qualified trainer and assessor for students in management, social care, business and other fields. I have written books which I really enjoy doing, and training courses for several companies. I also set and mark student assignments for several courses.
With Francesca B
I am a writer, journalist, researcher, marketer and events organiser, passionate about community, creativity and connection. Armed with pencils, coffee, headphones and a spring in my step, I like to explore and scribble my way through life. Everything I do comes from three core values – communication, connection and creativity, and all are fuelled by my curiosity about the world and all within it. I wholeheartedly believe in the power of words for personal and social wellbeing. I run writing workshops with a variety of focus areas, including general creative writing skills, using literature as prompts, writing for wellbeing, and writing walks. I encourage people to really look around them and within, seek inspiration and spot the stories that they want and need to tell. I am a board member of Lapidus, the Writing for Wellbeing organisation and professional member of the National Association for Writers in Education. I have run writing workshops across the country with Leeds Students Union University, Ashford Creative Collective, Folkestone Book Festival, South West Festival, Barnet, Enfield & Haringey Mental Health Trust, Kentish Town Health & Free Space, Museum of Happiness, Voluntary Arts, London Arts In Health, supported the Lapwing Project, and shared reading groups with Haringey Literature Live, Barnet, Enfield & Haringey Mental Health Trust and Bauhaus Café.
