“I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Animo to any organisation looking to develop, evolve, and be challenged in a progressive and supportive environment.”

Richard Norman, CEO

Animo has been crucial in supporting the development of a genuinely co-authored strategic plan.  Throughout the process of developing the plan, they skillfully facilitated discussions that both fed into the plan but  that also enabled us to identify other key development areas for the organisation.

Marcia Asare, Executive Director, Walcot Foundation

“Can’t recommend working with Maria enough – she’s really helped us develop our focus to be thinking more strategically about including youth voice in our organisation as well as coaching the team on how we facilitate opportunities for engaging young people in our work. Professional, hard working and committed, I highly recommend working with Maria and am looking forward to developing our next project with her support!”

Anna Bedford, Head of Programmes and Operations, Campaign for National Parks

Kate was calm, encouraging and supportive. She created a safe space for us to reflect and share our honest opinions. She was knowledgeable and approachable. The day was well paced, considered and thoughtful and very engaging. Kate creates an environment which is reflective, open and engaging.

Nicole Williamson, CEO, ECP Safeguarding

Rachel Smith, Assistant Director of Quality and Engagement

“A skilled, friendly team who champion diversity and really took the time to understand our organisation and its culture.”

Senior Leader, Target Ovarian Cancer

“We absolutely recommend Animo. We have been particularly impressed by the vast skill set employed by Animo – ranging from brilliant facilitation of challenging organisation-wide discussions, to the background comprehensive write up/ first draft that turns a fab discussion to clear concise text, to the holding of space for genuine reimagination (which is so needed in our work/sub-sector).

Marcia Asare, Executive Director, Walcot Foundation

Animo’s stance as an anti-rascist organisation, really added to how they were able to hold space and lean into exploring thoughts and ideas with a view to further
bolstering the work.”

Marcia Asare, Executive Director, Walcot Foundation
