“We often find our guests stuck at a crossroads, or even hurt by the number of brick walls they have hit, or maybe just bemused by a section of the arts business about which they are totally unfamiliar.” Chris Grady
We offer consultancy sessions once a month, usually on a Saturday at London’s South Bank. We offer these one hour “surgeries” on a PAY WHAT YOU CAN basis to those working in the arts – across any discipline and at any stage of progress. You might be an individual or an organisation, but if you have a project you want to kick-start then we are happy to help you make it happen! And if you are stuck, we’ll see whether we can get you un-stuck.
If you are working in the Conference/Event business, the Commercial sector, or the Wellness & Alternative Medicine sector, then please get in contact for equivalent surgery opportunities – at an affordable price.
“I just want to express my gratitude towards you both for giving up that time to speak with Sarah and I yesterday. It was incredibly helpful. These surgeries that you provide are such a great idea, thank you! Anna / Theatre Company
“Thank you again for all your help. I did find it very useful and I definatley feel motivated to progress further, the surgeries are a great way to refocus your aims and objectives with professional guidance along the way. Priya / Author

These sessions are very popular so it is advisable to book as early as possible.
“Pay What You Can” system. It is clear that some people expect to pay reasonably, or the going rate, for our consultancy offer, whilst others need it to be as accessible as possible, hence the Pay What You Can structure . We are hoping to increase the availability of the service from just one day every month. When you have booked a place we will ask you to make a BACS payment to our Halifax account and reference the date of the session for our records, so we can keep accounts but you can remain anonymous if you wish. I hope that works for everyone.
