I have had the pleasure of commissioning Joel Pound as a freelance participation expert on several National Trust projects. His approach to engaging people from all walks of life and ages meant that our processes were met with positive engagement and helped us forge a positive future. I would highly recommend Joel to anyone looking to explore tricky situations and define a positive and shared future vision.

“When Joel worked with a group of children in our school, I found him to be approachable, engaging and patient with the children; the session was full of fun and laughter too. Joel was relaxed and confident, especially with those that had additional needs and he found innovative ways to help them remain engaged.”
