My Voluntary Work

I am currently Chair of two charities, The Mighty Creatives and Upstart Projects and on the Advisory Board of Attenborough Arts Centre.

The Mighty Creatives

The Mighty Creatives fights for the creative voices of young people. Our vision is of a world where all children and young people will harness the power of arts, creativity and culture in order to transform themselves, their communities and their futures.

TMC is funded by Arts Council England as a Bridge organisation, promoting and supporting Artsmark and Arts Award as development tools and also investing in strategic initiatives such as local cultural education partnerships across the East Midlands. We also fund raise from trusts, foundations and donors to support our programmes.

Upstart Projects

Upstart Projects is a charity which creates opportunities in the arts for young people, promoting them as leaders and activists. We run media projects, including Voicemag.uk, a website which gives young people a chance to express their opinions about arts and culture and we support Arts Award online with Arts Award on Voice. https://www.voicemag.uk/ We train young people as critics and journalists, for example supporting a team of young reporters at events such as Edinburgh Fringe and Brighton Festival.

"I have long admired Felicity’s ability to think both strategically and logically. "

Michaela Butter, FRSA MBE, Director, Attenborough Arts Centre

"We thought immediately of Felicity because of her expertise and experience in the field of arts education, her deep knowledge of both local and national contexts, and her reputation as an excellent facilitator."

Stephen Newbould, Artistic Director, Birmingham Contemporary Music Group

"Your work in facilitating our discussions was excellent and your patience admirable!"

Iain Standen, CEO, Bletchley Park Trust

"Felicity and her team provided a targeted solution and set of costed options and timescales to help take the partners forward. What’s more they were a delight to work with and I would thoroughly recommend them for future work."

Shane Downer, Heritage Officer, Milton Keynes Council

We thoroughly enjoyed working with you and the team. Overall the report will be a great help in sparking discussions about future delivery and I am even more mindful of the need to carve out time for CPD, reflection and development
