Development day with The National Lottery Heritage Fund, Leadership team
Our founder had joked about "another planning day surrounded by post-it notes".. but it was so far from this, with so much creativity and even a bit of storytelling, we now have our plan for the next 3 years.
Thank you so much Kerry.

I’m a design-thinker, mother and maker - and Strategic Lead for A Brilliant Thing CIC. But I’m not alone! Our 4 co-directors, are my mum, Lynn, sisters Faye and Tess and myself. Tess works in the company with me, as Development Lead along with our lovely freelance collaborators.
Together we bring a depth of skills in therapeutic counselling, coaching, organisational and community development, people management, design-thinking and experience across charity, NHS, public and private sectors.
We care deeply about creating work that inspires positive social change, and nourishes the person behind that work. We value equality, integrity and kindness and these qualities guide our contribution to society.
Our favourite phrase is said with a twinkle of the eyes, 'I have an idea...'
Hi I’m Kerry!
