Sounddelivery Media
“I first met Rachael as part of her involvement with a network of community leaders that my charity Sounddelivery Media has collaborated with since 2022.
Rachael initially took part in a 9 month training programme we facilitated and now is informing the programme going forward to ensure that it is inclusive and that there are no barriers to access for new applicants. She helped review and draft additional content for our programme handbook ensuring that our materials are clear and accessible for all. We would not hesitate to commission her again.”
