KEY EXPERIENCE Appointed as marketing manager for LORAG community centre I was specifically brought on board with the main objective to retain funding and inevitable secure the future of this community centre. Situated in an area of prolific unemployment deriving from a severe lack of basic qualifications meant that essential skill classes in Literacy, Numeracy and ICT were key to help combat deprivation in this area. With closure imminent time was against this project, however, pulling on my vast array of skills in communication, marketing and public relations ensured this project was a success for the centre. Results exceeded expectations, not only did the centre receive the necessary funding but growth and rejuvenation.
