Impact
Claire Vowell – Nurdle Nerd
I contacted Edventure for guidance, when I had a headful of ideas for an environmental enterprise, but I had no idea where to start. I had lots of pieces to a jigsaw, a partly formed website, a confused social media account, books, jewellery a stall and I spent a lot of time working for free. I had no idea whether what I was doing made sense to anybody else but me and I had no clear idea how to best spend my precious time. Doug sat me down, talked me through my ideas and really helped me focus and target on my next steps. He gave me really clear tips, strategies and advice and was so positive, he made me really believe that I could make a difference with what I was doing. Having a monthly meeting meant that I was motivated to achieve my targets, to find out what my next steps were. Doug was a sounding post, advocate and critical friend, as well as a fabulous, focussed morale booster. Edventure is a hub of like minded creatives looking forward to creating a better way of working and living and I love being there!
