      <image:title>About - Explorer. Bookworm. Gardener</image:title>
      <image:caption>I’m Laura Bell and that’s me in a few words. I’m a former award-winning journalist who has spent the last 18 years working in communications for public and private organisations across the UK. I’ve worked in many different sectors including central and local government, charities, universities, construction, regeneration, sustainability and innovation. Since having my two boys I took the plunge to set up my own company giving me the flexibility to juggle work and family life and chose the people I want to work with. When I’m not travelling with work, you’ll find me at home in Southport or on the beach with our spaniel Rufus.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Services - Community . . .</image:title>
      <image:caption>I work as a community engagement specialist for small to mid-sized consultation agencies delivering tailored consultation and engagement activities with communities across the UK. From helping shape town centres to supporting town plans and building new homes, I believe in bringing together diverse and often overlooked people to create a sense of shared ownership and enthusiasm for projects leading to genuine and meaningful outcomes for communities.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Services - Storytelling . . .</image:title>
      <image:caption>I help organisations raise their profile through strategic, high-impact media coverage and clear, compelling communications. By quickly identifying challenges and opportunities I shape realistic strategies that deliver results.  I craft clear, engaging, audience-focussed content from key messaging and press releases to newsletters, thought leadership and web content. On social media, I create and manage channels that go beyond follower numbers, fostering genuine engagement and meaningful conversations.</image:caption>
