Bryony also works across Brink to add connection and collaboration moments to existing processes and ways of working.
Bryony has ten years' experience working in community building across the UK, and she's involved in local politics.
Before Brink, Bryony worked to mobilise a community of social workers across the UK. Using a community organising model she enabled social workers to collaborate on solutions to issues affecting children and young people across the UK. Members of the community developed training on working with unaccompanied migrant children and provided mentoring to those working on county lines. Bryony recently ran for County Councillor in her home of Monmouthshire, received the same number of votes as her contestant, and lost the council's majority on a coin toss. Yes, that's a real way to decide a democratic process!
