SAY HELLO

How do we do this?

saydesignUK supports several non-profit organisations and independent businesses run by people from marginalised groups.

We do this this by

  • Volunteering some free time to help with branding, marketing, strategic planning, and technical support
  • Mentoring volunteers so they can grow their skills and confidence to start building a future career
  • Giving a 25% discount on fees for non-profits and lower income individuals
  • Payment plans to spread costs, making goals more achievable
  • Free advice and technical support
  • Attending client meetings to see where we can contribute and support

What we want to achieve

  • Transform into a social enterprise design agency to be able to raise more funding to support these groups and individuals
  • Receive support and funding from established organisations
  • Donate 25% of our profits towards this support for others
  • Deliver mentoring courses and talks
  • Establish pathways to increase support of independent businesses

Testimonial from Clare Kennedy, CEO

“Well, I’d like to start by saying how blessed we are to have such a fabulous creative businesswoman onboard.  Whilst this pandemic has seen some charities close down, the need for our services has sadly skyrocketed, so we have had to develop a vast amount of new virtual recovery support platforms, literally overnight. Without Stephanie’s support, none of it would have been possible. So, to say we recommend saydesignUK would be an understatement.”
