Lavender Consulting

Consulting is not a word I feel drawn to use as it sounds very corporate.

I would better describe myself as a passionate advocate.

I have professional experience spanning from statutory, charity, social entrepreneurship, grassroots groups and lived experience which I'm willing to share in aligned spaces where we have a common purpose.

My name is Lavender Rockson and a writer once said to me:

“What a great combination of both soft and strong”

This is what you’ll be getting from me, a passionate advocate.

I’m keen to work with spaces who come with an open mind, caring heart and pro-active hands.

If you are allergic to tick boxes and want to commit to making real changes to improve things for people - let’s work together!

If your toes curl at the idea of multiple meetings followed by non-action and you are keen to reflect, trial the work, reflect and repeat - let’s do this!

I don’t at this time offer extensive consulting packages.

These would be adhoc or long term small part time pieces of work for example:

🪻Feedback to tweak your delivery to be more youth, wellbeing or disability considered

💜 Helping you settle into your first day with a new audience and feedback

🌼 Video call reflections about how things are going

⭐ Testing products or experiences and giving feedback

Examples of orgs I've consulted from professional and lived experience: The Baobab Foundation, Force of Nature, Bristol Redistro, Seen Sisters, Multiple Youth Organisations

How We Can Work Together

🌱 Youth-Led Groups

A youth-led group looking to embed more wellbeing throughout what you do

🌸 Services Working to Engage Young People

A service looking to share their offer or expertise with youth but unsure how to approach supporting young people who are signed up. You may need someone to look over how you’ve planned your sessions to ensure it’s youth centred and supportive.

🦋 Experience testing

For folks with my lived experiences

🌿 Co-producing a service

With particular demographics needs and wishes
