Experience

I have worked in policy, campaigns or public affairs roles (including the last 6 years as a consultant) for over 15 years. My prior roles before I set up Drew Lindon Consulting Ltd were increasingly senior policy and campaigns roles for a range of high-profile charities including Prostate Cancer UK, Parkinson’s UK, million+, Homeless Link, and the Carers Trust.

Since starting my business in 2014, I have worked with over 30 clients. The vast majority have been within the voluntary sector working on projects as diverse as creating a organisation's first ever national campaign, developing a Code of Practice for the sector, building a new partnership strategy for a coalition of charities, undertaking detailed quantitative research into NHS waiting times for a public report, and leading a 3-year programme of public affairs engagement with an All Party Parliamentary Group as a key nexus for that activity.
