We had the most fabulous Governance Workshop with Steve Allman. He encouraged creativity, banter (if you know us, you know that’s helpful!) talking, flow and best of all drawing!
If you haven’t looked into Steve honestly go and follow him and if you need his amazing service I would encourage everyone to book him now! As funny in real life as he is on here but really gets to the nitty gritty and has a way of explaining things so you can actually understand it!
Coffee4Craig have a relatively new board so it was lovely to get together and really look at any issues and how we start the ball rolling. Me and Hendrix Lancaster are really looking forward to working with the board and hopefully more with Steve Allman.

Steve Allman provided a valuable and impactful training day for We Too! SC045895. His friendly and warm style helped alleviate the team’s anxiety, enabling them to focus on the workshop tasks and achieve the objectives efficiently.
The abundance of usable information generated during the workshop empowered the Board of Trustees to strategize and address organisational challenges effectively.
Moreover, the realisation of the organisation’s achievements and impact, despite its size, serves as a testament to the effectiveness of Steve’s approach in fostering a positive and empowering environment.
I would positively recommend Steve’s services to help teams maximize their potential and celebrate their successes.

Steve Allman recently delivered an excellent second workshop for Greater Manchester Youth Federation. He is a fantastic facilitator and brought a great deal of experience, warmth and humour to our discussions. He knows when to challenge, when to encourage and when to have a break for a well-earned cuppa!
Steve is really enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the charity sector and is great at reading the room and getting the best out of people. Thanks Steve for your support, it was very much appreciated by all who attended.

Steve kicked off our first-ever event, and it’s safe to say it was an overwhelming success! His talk on “How to Navigate the Minefield of Charity Leadership” was not only engaging but also provided great insights, offering valuable takeaways to our attendees.
Despite the event being virtual, Steve’s presence and energy made it just as engaging as an in-person event, and he had us all laughing at his jokes!
The communication process throughout was seamless, a refreshing change from the challenges often faced when organising and liaising with speakers, and he promptly posted a write-up of his talk on our website.
The feedback we received from his talk was amazing, and I can’t think of a better speaker to have launched our events. I thoroughly enjoyed working with Steve and recommend him to my colleagues every chance I get!

We recently worked with Steve to explore our ethical framework for fundraising and investment. It’s a potentially challenging topic so I felt a little trepidation but Steve immediately put me at ease.
After introducing the work to the Board he followed up with individual calls with each Trustee to explore their personal perspectives before facilitating a half day workshop to tease out any issues and develop a shared approach.
Steve’s style, use of humour and real world examples encouraged everyone to contribute, question and collaborate. He skilfully managed the workshop to help us reach a conclusion that everyone was comfortable with and both staff and Trustees enjoyed it.
Steve’s report was a focussed summary of what we’d agreed and we are now using it to build our policies and processes. He was a dream to work with and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Steve.

Steve facilitated a charity development day for our small NHS charity. It was a first for us and we were all amazed at how much we achieved in just half a day! It was invaluable to have an outside perspective to draw out conversations and perspectives from the group. Steve worked brilliantly with all the attendees who represented a broad range of roles from within the charity and from the NHS Trust. Our aim by the end of the session was to have worked our way to an agreed Vision for the Charity, which we did! I would highly recommend Steve, we found the day very valuable, energising and have used our feedback report as a jumping off point for further development.
