I regularly report on topics including: social enterprise, the third sector, community development, environmental issues, nature and conservation, food sustainability, and arts development and production.

I’ve been a regular guest and contributor to local BBC and community radio stations. I’ve also recorded a number of oral history and community audio podcast projects, for example Contemporary Voices: Africans in Yorkshire.

I am a freelance member of the Arts Marketing Association, and a longterm member of a-n The Artists Information Company.

Stoke-on-Trent, North Staffordshire, is my current base, but I flit about the Midlands, the North, and London.

Great to have your interest!
