Investment & scope
Brave Day’s work is bespoke — shaped around your context, your people, and what’s realistic for your team to hold.
This page gives clear starting points, plus a sense of what “scope” actually means in practice (so we can avoid guesswork and get to a sensible plan quickly).
If you’re commissioning work across health, education, public sector, social enterprise or culture - and you need storytelling that’s ethical, strategic and actually usable - you’re in the right place.
Most Brave Day commissions are designed as programmes of work rather than single sessions.
This allows space for reflection, ethical decision-making and learning to be applied in practice.
One-off workshops or short scoping sessions can serve as entry points, but they are most effective when they lead into a wider, paced approach.

What affects cost?
Pricing isn’t just about time - it’s about complexity and responsibility.
Your quote will usually reflect things like:
Scale: one team vs multiple partners across a system
Sensitivity: safeguarding, trauma-informed practice, participant support
Stakeholders: how many voices need to be included and aligned
Decision-making: clarity vs complexity (and how much facilitation is required)
Delivery: strategy-only vs training vs production coordination
Timeframe: realistic pacing vs urgent deadlines
Outputs: what needs creating, and how it will be used
What you get within each service area
1) Storytelling strategy & consultancy
This is for organisations who need clarity before creating content — especially where multiple voices, sensitivities or systems are involved.
This work is usually delivered across a short series of sessions, allowing thinking to evolve rather than forcing decisions into a single meeting.
Typical outcomes:
A clear plan for what stories to tell (and what not to tell yet)
Ethical and stakeholder mapping
A practical approach to consent, care and representation
A realistic delivery plan shaped around organisational capacity
A decision on what can be done in-house vs supported externally
Common scopes might include:
2–3 strategy sessions over 3–6 weeks, plus written recommendations
A short storytelling plan to guide internal comms and partners
Advisory support alongside a complex or sensitive initiative
Investment:from £1,200–£3,500
2) Training & capacity-building
This is for teams, facilitators, practitioners and comms leads who want to develop storytelling skills they can use responsibly and confidently — without turning everyone into “content people”.
Training is often paired with strategy so learning is grounded in real work.
Training can include:
Ethical storytelling basics (consent, power, representation)
Story capture skills for in-house teams (interviews, audio, mobile filming)
Story mapping and narrative planning for programmes
Coaching-style support for facilitators, educators and L&D teams
Embedded support over time rather than a single workshop
Typical formats:
Training and capacity-building are usually delivered as a short series of workshops supported by learning resources and follow-up, rather than as one-off sessions.
This allows teams to explore a subject or theme over time, apply learning in practice, and build confidence and judgement — rather than receiving information in isolation.
Single workshops are sometimes used as an entry point, but are most effective when part of a wider programme of learning and reflection.
Investment: typically from £1,500
3) Production coordination / executive producer roles
This is for organisations who need specialist delivery — but want the work held within a wider strategy, with ethical oversight and consistency.
Production coordination is typically an ongoing role across a project or programme, rather than a one-off intervention.
In this model, Brave Day takes a senior coordinating role, bringing in trusted freelancers or partner studios where needed. Alongside this, I bring deep, hands-on filmmaking experience — from concept through to completion — ensuring decisions are grounded in real production realities, not theory.
This can include:
Executive producer / coordinating role
Defining the brief and shaping the story approach
Recruiting and managing the right creatives
Oversight of quality, ethics and consistency
Keeping delivery aligned with purpose (not just outputs)
Typical scopes might include:
Coordinating a small team across multiple locations
Managing filming schedules and contributor care
Joining steering meetings and keeping decisions clear
Supporting commissioning teams to stay grounded and realistic
Investment: typically from £2,500+ depending on scope
A note about “how many sessions do we get?”
Fair question - and also exactly why I avoid selling storytelling like a fixed menu.
Because the real question is usually:
“What do we need to make good decisions, without burning people out?”
That said, I’ll always give you:
A clear scope
A realistic timeline
What’s included/excluded
What happens if things change
So you’re not left guessing.
Working pace and boundaries
Brave Day’s work is designed to support wellbeing and long-term capacity, not burnout.
That means:
We agree realistic timelines
We keep decision-making clean
We avoid extractive storytelling
We plan around real organisational capacity
We scope properly (and re-scope if things change)
How we get started
Most projects begin with a short call to understand:
What you’re trying to achieve
Who needs to be involved
What sensitivities or risks are present
What capacity you have in-house
What support would genuinely help
This may lead to a short scoping phase or pilot session, followed by a clear proposal and scope if we’re aligned.
