Welcome to The Riot and Danger Collective
People-first strategies for organisations that give a damn.
We help small teams, educators, creatives and community orgs work better — with training, strategy and wellbeing support that actually fits real life.
Who we are
Everything we do is grounded in creativity, care, and decades of real-world experience.
Founded in 2022 by a teacher and a mental health nurse tired of rigid systems and soulless processes, Riot & Danger Collective was built as a bold alternative to business-as-usual.
We bring together decades of experience across education, health, the arts and community sectors — to help organisations work in ways that are values-led, trauma-aware, and genuinely effective.
We’re also writers, artists and facilitators who believe serious work doesn’t have to be joyless.

What sets us apart
Why We’re Different
We’re not here to deliver off-the-shelf answers or jargon-filled reports. We work with you — not over you — to build strategies, learning, and support systems that actually work in practice, not just on paper.
People-first, not policy-first
We start with relationships, values and real-life context — then build policy and process around that. People do better work when they’re seen, supported, and safe.
Creative thinkers with sector experience
Our team blends frontline experience in education, mental health and the arts with creative, strategic thinking. We know how to navigate complexity — and we bring fresh ideas rooted in real-world insight.
Trauma-aware and radically practical
We understand how systems can harm as well as help. Our approach is trauma-informed, compassion-led, and grounded in practical change — not abstract theory.
No corporate jargon — just honest, strategic support
We translate big ideas into plain English, actionable plans, and tools your team can actually use. Clear communication is part of how we care.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The Collective helped us make sense of the chaos. The strategy they created wasn’t just a document — it was a turning point for our team. Clear, honest, and completely aligned with who we are as an organisation.

Working with Rachel felt like someone had finally translated our ideas into something real.
The process was thoughtful, collaborative, and rooted in care. We now have a plan we actually want to follow.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We’ve worked with consultants before, but nothing like this. Riot & Danger brought clarity, strategy, and genuine understanding of our challenges. It was like having an extra brain — but one that truly got our values.
