Testimonials & Examples
“The Clydesider team has been a joy to work with – professional, skilled and particularly thoughtful about the various challenges of working with multiple stakeholders on a project that explored some emotive and sensitive issues. Highly recommended.” Dr Sarah Doyle, Deputy Nurse Director, Queen’s Nursing Institute Scotland
“Clydesider Creative are the most caring inspirational team of professionals I have ever had the pleasure of working with. The Chance 2 Change Digital project would not have been possible without Clydesider – who were instrumental in the education and development of the whole project. The team could instantly see the vision and supported us to make it a reality – forever grateful.” Leanne McBride, facilitator Chance 2 Change
“I’ve trusted Amanda and the Clydesider team with a variety of DACA’s communications and public relations tasks over recent years, and they’ve never let me down. Amanda can take a relatively basic brief and develop it to achieve maximum impact over multiple platforms – making their service great value for money. If funding was no object, I’d have Clydesider input into all DACA communications projects.” Mags Mackenzie, CEO Dumbarton Area Council on Alcohol (DACA)
“Clydesider Creative was instrumental in the start-up and growth of Inclusive Images social enterprise. They supported us in writing our initial business plan plus multiple grant-funding applications, securing over £160,000 for the organisation.” Charlie Sherry, director Inclusive Images
Chance 2 Change Does Digital – we delivered Introduction to Digital & Film-making workshops, designed a logo, produced and filmed a short documentary about the difficulties of digital by design health services, and wrote a report with members of the Drumchapel-based peer mental health group. There was so much great material from the film workshops we made an extra film about the group. This year we are supporting C2C to showcase the films at the Scottish Mental Health & Arts Festival.
Learn & Grow films – we worked with the Leamy Foundation to produce and film a series of 15 short, fun educational films to demonstrate indoor and outdoor planting techniques.
