What our clients say…
pennine lancashire lifestyle hub research
I wasn’t sure what to expect when we commenced the project with Proper Active, however it is safe to say that the piece of work completed exceeded my expectations at every stage. The finished product is of extremely high quality and very thorough. The report will be used to inform the future direction of the project we are leading and the fine tuning elements we need to consider. The team was incredibly impressed with the process and the outputs. We are already in talks to bring Dannielle back to do another follow up piece of work in the future.
Sarah Berne, Programme Lead, Pennine Lancashire Lifestyle Hub
development of all together active strategy
The knowledge, expertise and experience Proper Active brought from working on a range of similar projects across the country brought us a rich pool of insight to build our local approach. Dannielle’s attention to detail, proactiveness and flexibility helped us to stay on track, and her approachable and accessible manner made project working in an open and honest way really easy. Her ability to check and challenge us really helped us develop our approach, and we really appreciated her ability to play devil’s advocate. We always felt confident that Proper Active knew what we were asking for and we knew it was going to get done.

Commonwealth games legacy investment review
Proper Active did a great job for us, reviewing a complex multi-strand programme of activity. The review helped clarify and make sense of progress to date, and has given us a clear direction for strengthening this and future work.

UNDERSTANDING YOUNG PEOPLE’S LIVES AND EXPERIENCES OF BEING ACTIVE
Proper Active completely understood the brief and worked empathetically with our partners. They provided great comms, great 'wider thinking' beyond the initial brief, excellent depth of knowledge, and are clearly experts in their field. The final insight pack was accessible and at a level appropriate for all.
Kate Williams, Regional Lead, Sport Wales
Strategic evaluation of government communications
Dannielle has a strong ability to retain detail and keep many different plates spinning, whilst keeping a clear view on the ‘bigger picture'. One of her real strengths is her ability to distil complexity and explain difficult concepts in an easy to follow, concise way. You can always rely on her being fully informed and fact checked, which is hugely reassuring. She is someone you want by your side in a difficult meeting.

Active Surrey health strategy Development
It was great to have Proper Active’s past experience and knowledge on other systems, projects, research and work to inform our strategy. Dannielle has been vitally important for me to have a sounding board on our future areas of health focus. Dannielle was great at listening and quickly being on same page. Very easy to chat to and perfectly flexible!

Staying connected to your participants Workshop
We were impressed with the training delivered by Dannielle. It offered a context to motivations and some clear examples that helped to express the points around emotional connections. It was delivered in Layman’s terms so that everyone could understand, you’d be surprised how often deliverers use terminology that volunteers in clubs simply can’t relate to.
