Hello!

I’m Barbara Kerr.

I’m a Community Engagement Consultant, Facilitator and Coach, with a particular focus on supporting communities and individuals to take power and make change happen.

My Background

I have years of experience working in the arts and culture sector with a focus on community and heritage projects. This has given me a firm understanding of the challenges faced by Purpose Led and For Impact organisations – commonly known as third sector.

I also have several years experience in engaging with community stakeholders to plan, design and deliver active travel projects of all kinds.

This dual experience means I am uniquely placed to bring together communities and developers in projects to make changes to the public realm.

I strongly believe that people make communities, and that vibrant communities make everyone’s lives better – socially, environmentally and economically.

How I can hep you

For developers:

I can provide consultancy services for all aspects of community and stakeholder engagement in your projects, from early stage preparation, through to project handover.

For Community organisations:

I can support you to develop local community action plans or local place plans, or to engage with your members or service users to inform strategy and decision making for the future of your organisation.

For Individuals:

I can give you space to consider what you want from life, and support you to identify and make changes that will help you move towards your ideal situation.
