We have worked with Hugh Thompson of CSR Host Consulting since 2012. Hugh has acted as a Consultant & Project Manager for our Heritage Lottery Fund grant application for Listed Places of Worship and delivery of our Community Engagement Programme. Hugh was the catalyst for our success in the first phase and as such, was retained for the second phase which has been equally successful. Hugh’s advice and input has helped our organisation in achieving our aims and objectives and helped deliver social value that has had a positive impact in the local community which will be remembered for many, many years.
