FACE.WORK CONSULTANCY
We share our experience of developing both employability programmes and affordable community workspaces.
As current practitioners, we work with young people and our over 250 members so have valuable experience to share in the following areas:
AFFORDABLE WORKSPACE PROVISION
Every month we talk to local community groups who are keen to replicate our Hatch Hubs model.
We are happy to share informally but have also started working with larger organisations to offer consultancy in the areas of:
-
Building a sustainable business model.
-
Building a wide membership
-
Building an evidence case
-
Attracting anchor tenants
-
Re-modelling an old building.
Scott Bailey leads our affordable workspace provision.
SOCIAL CHANGE
ORGANISATIONS
As a social entrepreneur and ex-CEO of three other NGOs, Stephen Carrick-Davies has considerable experience in both running and growing social change organisations.
Over the last few years Stephen has helped various charities, including running away days for staff and trustee teams, supporting organisational reviews (including name changes) and fundraising.
EMPLOYABILITY DESIGN
Is current school accreditation, followed by degrees, a good proxy for employability - even if they are the only convenient, recognised and quantitative tool employers have at their disposal?
Can we still measure progress for a future world using traditional assessment?
How can schools best support students as we enter a workplace era of Machine Learning, the Internet of Things, Big Data and globalisation?
These are some of the questions we are engaged in exploring. If you would like us to help your organisation design alternative employability programmes contribute to conference or policy debates please let us know.

"Working with Steve and Tim has been invaluable. They helped us create a business case for developing our community workspace in Wolverton which has now been approved by the Council. Learning from those who are actually doing it and having their ongoing support has made all the difference."
Marie Osbourne
CEO Future Wolverton
"Across 2020 and 2021 we worked closely with Steve, who ran two intensive away days and helped us change our name and branding and re-focus our strategy.
He also helped us secure a very large grant and raised funds for us through the work at Hatcham House. The service he provided was outstanding and we would definitely recommend Facework to others."
Felicia Boshorin
Founder and CEO - Spring Community Hub
“We appreciated the Facework team giving consultancy support to a group of Community Groups here in Bristol as we emerged from the pandemic. This included Stephen presenting to the Mayor of Bristol on 2 occasions and helping 3 organisations review their current buildings and community offering and how they could replicate the HH model of affordable workspaces. We so valued this advice coming from an actual practitioner who was innovating in how to re-use buildings and better serve local people looking to work together as a community.”

In 2022 Stephen worked with 18 year old Lauren Roberts-Turner and commissioned her to write a unique 'Agenda for Change' document.
