Think Again is a proud sponsor and supporter of the Le Mead project, which raises funds for the leukaemia charity the Geoff Thomas Foundation. Le Mead was set up by colleagues of Bedfordshire police officer Steve Mead, who died of leukaemia in 2009. Last year, Think Again director Ian Parkinson took part in a charity bike ride from Venice to Milan across the Italian Alps with a dozen other Le Mead riders.

This week came the news that the ride and its associated events raised 25-thousand pounds to help the fight against blood cancers.

Geoff Thomas, the former England and Crystal Palace captain who is himself a leukaemia survivor, was delighted with the figure.

“That is a fantastic amount and without the support of organisations like Le Mead and its partners, there is now way the foundation could be where it is today”.

The Think Again team had a great day in the beautiful Derbyshire town of Buxton, hosting workshops at a conference for the county’s headteachers. In a taster session titled “Turning a crisis into a drama”, we helped around 50 heads think how they would react if the unwelcome spotlight of a media crisis was turned on their school.

The delegates, especially the brave volunteers who took part in our live improvised crisis, showed common sense, a sound knowledge of the risks and challenges involved and an overwhelming commitment to put the safety and wellbeing of their pupils first.

But there were some interesting lessons learned and some fascinating professional debates along the way. For more details of our crisis management and other media training, check out our “What We Do” page.
