Quote from Jez Vanes, Chief Executive of Wolverhampton CABX:
In my rare moments of calmness I’d say that the voluntary sector needs three things (and not the extra funding that I’m usually asking for). Friends from other sectors, a chance, and strong leadership.
Kiki helped provide all of these when she worked with us at Sandwell CABX. She found the truth and reported back her findings. Her electric bulletin (‘equality and quality of service provision’) went to a packed community centre, swollen by specially invited (and hushed) institutional leaders. She won thunderous applause. Projects were announced before they’d been applied for, and she even delayed the ceremoniously timed meal.
We all talk about trusted consultants, street-wise academics and research that pays for itself in results, but you know we rarely mean it. So if you want ‘your bag’ sorted (she was a researcher for Austin Powers whilst he was frozen) then you’ll call Kiki.
Quote from Lindsay Todd, Chief Executive, Oriel Group/The Swaythling Housing Society Ltd:
"Kiki and her colleague worked extremely effectively with our senior managers and board members, enabling us to develop a new insight into the impact of prejudice on individuals and organisations, and creating a real enthusiasm at top level for combating it. Kiki's combination of honest straight talking and management expertise make her a valuable resource for organisations that want to address complex issue with absolute clarity."
