I recently had the pleasure of working with Steve Allman for our charity team’s away day, and the experience was truly exceptional. Steve’s refreshingly ‘analog’ approach—avoiding PowerPoint in favour of flip-charts, the universally loved post-it notes, and meaningful face-to-face interaction—created an environment where genuine collaboration flourished.
What impressed me most was Steve’s ability to maintain high energy throughout the session with his adaptable facilitation style and dynamic pacing. His extensive knowledge of NHS charities and their unique challenges was evident throughout the day, allowing him to tailor activities specifically to our context and needs.
Every team member remained fully engaged as we tackled problem-solving exercises, mapped out our vision, and developed greater self-awareness. Steve’s understanding of the healthcare charity sector helped us address our specific challenges with relevant, practical solutions.
The impact of Steve’s work extended well beyond the day itself. Our team left with valuable insights to reflect upon and, more importantly, actionable steps to implement. I highly recommend Steve to any organization, particularly those in the NHS charity sector, looking for a facilitator who can deliver meaningful results through authentic engagement.

Steve Allman ran a Saturday session for Survivors UK charity trustees. Steve was an excellent facilitator, building a good rapport and was both well prepared and adaptable. He was good at drawing out points and making us work through trickier issues during the day. He draws on a wide and deep understanding of the third sector to provide support and challenege. Steve provided a clear and comprehensive write up after the session which has been very beneficial for our on-going board work. I can thoroughly recommend Steve.

Steve Allman ran a team building workshop for our charity’s small team of 7 people. The day was really interactive and we all came away feeling really positive about our achievements over the last 12 months, and our plans for the future. I’d highly recommend Steve to charities who want someone with lots of knowledge of the charity sector and the ability to lead productive and enjoyable workshops.

If your charity’s looking for standard, text book, copy and paste training….scroll on, that’s not what Steve Allman delivers. Steve delivers bespoke, insightful, powerful sessions and workshops to suit your needs
If you are a trustee or a frustrated CEO or SLT member and are looking for something unique, insightful, fun (yes really, training can be fun) and bespoke training, then Steve Allman is the guy for you.
Our charity needed a refresh, we had new trustees, new ideas and lots of enthusiasm but needed sitting down in a room and herding up to properly formulate this in a meaningful way. Steve did that!
His knowledge is vast, his humour is quick and he has the perfect balance of support, guidance and challenge to move people into new ways of thinking and to help get the best out of each one of you in the room.
If charities need refocusing, refreshing or reminding them of why they are doing the ‘stuff’ they do then Steve is the guy. If you want to take your team on a journey with you to achieve success together as a team, then Steve is the guy to facilitate, I recommend you get in touch and start the conversation to see where he can help, you won’t regret it.

Steve Allman delivered a fantastic interactive Strategy Workshop for our charity. It was engaging, illuminating and inspiring. I’d have no hesitation in asking Steve to work with me again.

Steve Allman ran an in-person workshop with our charity’s Trustee group to progress and support our governance review work. The session was tailored to our small charity and offered us practical steps for the future direction of our improvement programme.
Steve’s style, delivery and expertise was utterly brilliant – engaging, interesting and no death by PowerPoint. The feedback from the Trustees has been really great and the actions from the workshop have moved us further towards our goals both for the governance of the charity, but also for the ambitions of charity long-term; it’s helped us be more effective in our work supporting children and their families in hospital.
I can’t recommend Steve Allman enough – thank you for helping us be better.
