Beth Garlington

I am an experienced learning and engagement professional with a passion for connecting people with culture, heritage and creative learning opportunities. My particular interests lie in community engagement, education and schools, creative health, access and inclusivity, and volunteer management.

I enjoy working creatively and collaboratively with a wide range of people and organisations to develop and deliver engaging programmes and projects. Throughout my career, I have coordinated engagement initiatives with local and national partners, including the V&A and Heritage Open Days, and have led projects funded through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund and the National Lottery Heritage Fund.

I can offer vast skills and experience in the following areas:

– Project Management/ Coordination (this includes schools projects, community projects and youth projects)

– Creating and delivering workshops, eg, family craft workshops and sessions in schools.

– Creating packages of access resources (including research, budgeting and piloting)

– Volunteer projects – working creatively with local people to build inspiring community projects and projects with legacy.

With over twenty years’ experience working with the public, I am committed to creating meaningful opportunities for participation, learning and engagement, ensuring that programmes are welcoming, accessible and relevant to diverse audiences.
