What’s occurring?
I’ve turned to the world of Hubbub in the hope of raising some money to contribute towards my Master’s degree in Service Design at the Royal College of Art. The course looks at social innovation, digital solutions, business planning and, of course, design thinking which I hope will equip me with the skills to contribute to the creation of a more equal and fair society.
Tell me the story…
During my time working for Mind I have worked across several different services supporting people of all ages with their mental health and emotional wellbeing. Over the course of three years I have seen how damaging inequality, lack of opportunity, poverty and isolation can be for people. This has led me to think that there must be a better solution! Service Design is an emerging discipline, that uses design theory to take a step back from the services and systems we all live within and work with the people they affect to make them better. I will be given the opportunity to learn about what solutions have come before, as well as to design solutions for the future. I hope this will allow me to:
Why should I donate?
· Even though I’m asking for funding for a course I really hope that any investment you make will have a longer term impact, for not only my personal development but for the people I go on to help
· Learning and gaining skills is a really important part of making viable change, as good will can only take us so far! Donating to education can play a vital role in developing society as a whole, this is only the beginning!
· All investors will receive a reward to thank them for their generosity.
What will the money be used for?
Will you keep me in the loop?
I’m intrigued…

For you big hitters I'm offering not just the e-toolkit but also a service design consultation, where we can go through the needs of your future service and I can advise on each step- sharing some of that valuable knowledge I'll have gained from the RCA! I'm more than happy to have email conversations after the initial face to face consultation to support in the design process.
