Digital Media & Mobile Storytelling Workshops
“These workshops were great for the young people. They left with really practical tools they could use to create their own digital content. Particularly valuable for our project as they now have the confidence and knowledge to produce high quality digital material for their social enterprises.” – Natalie Watson, The Agency Southampton, Energise Me
“SVS partnered with Southampton City Council and OVM to develop and promote Giving Thanks videos and skill development through a small grants programme. Veronica, as ever, was clear and focused in delivery of her element of the work and kept other partners fully informed on progress to the successful conclusion of the project.” – Jo Ash CBE, Chief Executive, Southampton Voluntary Services (SVS)

Diversity & Inclusion Facilitation
“We are delighted to have worked with Our Version Media. This has formed a valuable part of our outreach work around our upcoming Christmas production of Peter Pan! As it’s a youth production, Our Version Media put us in touch with local black youth organisations so we could deliver workshops within community settings, to encourage more young people to get involved and audition. With Our Version Media’s support, we have been able to form meaningful relationships with these community groups and are committed to continuing our relationship with them as part of our wider work to engage new audiences and support our local community.” – Katie Muncer, Community Programme Leader, MAST Mayflower Studios
“Veronica’s advice was honest, experience-based, helpful and constructive. It is enabling our managers to reflect on existing practice and formulate action plans to improve accessibility and diversity in key areas of our business.” – Kevin Gardner, CEO, Solent Mind
“Solent NHS Trust along with partners across the integrated care system have been looking at how we can creatively work together with local innovators like Our Version Media to co-design community-driven approaches… for mutually beneficial outcomes that address those longstanding inequalities and improve the health and social care needs of our local black communities.” – Leon Herbert, Head of Diversity and Inclusion, Solent NHS Trust
“It has been an absolute honour and privilege to work with Veronica. Her passion and knowledge, about the people living in the local community, has enabled me to be able to further my community engagement work for Solent NHS Trust. Veronica has been instrumental in connecting me with invaluable community partners in the city. This has been extremely beneficial as it has greatly helped Solent with our work and ambitions to reach and engage with diverse members of the community.” – Ophelia Matthias, Communications and Engagement Officer, Solent NHS Trust
“Veronica has put us in touch with amazing talent across the community supporting our recruitment drive for diversity in the outdoor industry. Couldn’t have done it without her.” – Mel, Founder, GoTread
“It has been great to work with Our Version Media to help us diversify our audiences and reach local communities who would not usually consider visiting the theatre. OVM promoted our Heritage Open Day Tours with positive results. This is just the beginning of an exciting working relationship.” – Sarah Lomas, Head of Sales and Marketing, Mayflower Theatre
