“Bridget worked with me at Power With to develop our consultancy offer. Her positive attitude and solution-focused approach made her a pleasure to work with. Bridget went above and beyond her responsibilities and was always willing to help out others. During her time at Power With, Bridget managed a consultancy project for Healthwatch England, which we delivered in partnership with Expert Citizens. This project included designing and delivering focus groups with lived experience volunteers towards the development of a toolkit and case studies of existing good practices. This important work meant the views of people with experience of facing inequality were at the core of decision-making.”
