"I have commissioned a range of Loudmouth's programmes almost consistently for the
last thirteen years, through Teenage Pregnancy Unit and Sexual Health Services, the
Healthy Schools Team and Public Health and Community Safety. I have always found the
company as a whole professional, reliable and accommodating. With ever dwindling
resources both financially and with staff time and availability and pressure on schools
to achieve academic results the use of the year in a day programme is both cost
effective and outcome positive. Communication with the company is a joy from on the
phone or by email or face to face. The effective and timely evaluation clearly demonstrates
the positive impacts on young people's lifestyle choices. Loudmouth in Telford and Wrekin
have a well respected professional profile."
Lyn Stepanian, DAAT Coordinator, Public Health, Telford and Wrekin Council
"Umbrella is the integrated sexual health service for Birmingham and Solihull. Umbrella
commissions Loudmouth to help us reach young people across the city using their theatre in
education programmes to deliver messages about the importance of sexual health. The results
of using Loudmouth have been exceptional. On a “pounds per pupil” basis, Loudmouth represents
excellent value for money. Loudmouth offers so much more, their work really does make an impact.
Over the last 4 years, Loudmouth has worked with Umbrella to reach tens of thousands of young
people with their programmes focusing on important themes such as healthy relationships,
sexually transmitted infections, consent, control and coercion. The Loudmouth approach enables
key relationship and sexual health messages to be delivered in an engaging and non-judgemental
way. And it is making a difference. The Umbrella brand is more widely known across the area of
Birmingham and Solihull and there is clear evidence that young people are engaging with the
service in increasing numbers. The Loudmouth-Umbrella partnership is a real success story.”
Natalie Slayman-Broom, Umbrella Business Manager - Sexual Health Services
"I commission Loudmouth year after year as they work in a unique way to get health
information across to children and young people. Their works breaks down barriers and the
participants they work with enjoy and actually remember the health messages. The evaluation
from staff and young people is always very positive and shows the high regard they have for
the educational content of Loudmouth's work. Loudmouth's work is always of a high standard,
they always deliver what they say they will deliver, they are totally reliable."
Jill Edwards, Public Health Manager, Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council
"Loudmouth Education & Training were a pleasure to commission. They delivered results,
provided prompt and useful feedback and achieved all the outcomes required. They were
positive, willing to talk about issues and change or amend approaches to meet our needs and
gave an honest picture of how the project was being delivered on the ground. Communication
worked well and I wouldn't hesitate to work with them again should the opportunity arise."
Gemma Thompson, Strategy Officer, Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council
"I would just like to say a big thank you to Loudmouth for delivering their Helping Hands
programme on staying safe in relationships. What a fantastic programme! I was astounded at
how focused and attentive the children remained throughout. The actor-facilitators were both
very professional and engaged the children in such a meaningful and positive way. It was
amazing to see the children's maturity about it all. An intense subject which was pitched
perfectly! The workshop was a great way to follow up and worked extremely well and it was
clear to see the children had listened and learnt a lot. From booking to delivery Loudmouth
has been very professional and well organised. We would not hesitate to work with you again
and look forward to doing so in the future.”
