Gel studios Bespoke Creative Solution 2024
This week, our Co-CEOs, Denise Brent and Amanda Cook, and our Training Coordinator Shirley Baxter, spent time with the fabulous team at Gel Studios bringing to completion the amazing Creative Solutions package won by Willows in Dec ‘23.
GEL Studios is committed to giving back to the local community, and they live out this value in a number of ways. In December 2023, the team at Gel Studios launched their Bespoke Creative Solution Scheme for 2024. Charities, non-governmental organisations, not-for-profit entities, and B-Corps who are dedicated to serving residents in any SN postcode could apply to have the incredible opportunity to win a cutting-edge bespoke creative solution, meticulously crafted by GEL Studios' expert team up to the value of £5,000. Finalists were announced and the public were invited to vote for the four organisations they wished to see receive the prize. Receiving 19.4% of the total vote, the team at Willows were delighted to hear that they had come in second place.
The Impact
Since April, the team at Gel Studios have supported Willows with the creation of social media graphics templates, marketing material templates such as leaflets and brochures, Mailchimp email templates and a 12-month Marketing Strategy! This is a fundamental step in our ability to continue to build on sharing news about our organisation, the services we provide, and ultimately, reaching people in need of the quality mental health support and training we provide. We now have the tools to elevate our marketing efforts and show the world the amazing work done by our wonderful and skilful team!
“This type of support is transformational for charities such as Willows. With continued financial and social pressures impacting businesses and charitable organisations, it is so important to make sound decisions. In the midst of this, however, it remains essential to also stay true to your values and to maintain the heart of who you are. Community is at the heart of all we do at Willows. Thank you, Gel Studios, for setting an example and showing the transformative power of community, collaboration, and support, by investing in giving back and leading with your heart”. Denise Brent, Co-CEO
What's Next?
Over the coming months, the team look forward to continuing to build awareness of our services within the local community, and to continue to offer a quality counselling service for adults in the local area. We will also be building on our services and training packages for charities, businesses, and organisations; using our expertise to help them support the mental health and wellbeing of their people.
