We work with businesses, charities and academic institutions to provide leadership and development, high performance coaching and team building – with a focus on corporate social responsibility. Fusion believes that strong communities make the foundation for a better world. This is the principle that underpins everything we do.
Corporate social responsibility shouldn’t just be a tick in the box. And it doesn’t have to be. We use an innovative way to combine high performance coaching and leadership training with corporate social responsibility. If you’re looking to bring the best out of your people, bring teams together, while making a genuine difference to the communities in which you operate, then you’re in the right place.
Our initiatives are designed to maximise each person’s potential; fusing individuals into dynamic teams, uncovering strengths and talents which are not always readily seen in a workplace environment. The Fusion team are all ex-British forces officers with real life experience; both operational and humanitarian, but we don’t take a ‘bootcamp’ approach. We offer an intuitive and empowering experience that really brings the best out of teams and increases business performance.

Testimonials
I met James, MD of Fusion Community Initiatives, on my annual 5YE Retreat last year. Inspirational guy. Inspirational company. Check out an example of their work ...https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCXDOxvuzUq2vq-E3d1TcZ_Q
To be part of the team that in one day delivered the wonderful playground to the children at Christopher’s is something really special. Add to that the ‘spice’ of being under the watchful eye of the Fusion team and their exacting military standards and it makes for a truly unique experience. For over 30 years Wooden Spoon has been transforming the lives of children and young people with a disability or facing disadvantage across the UK and Ireland through the power of rugby; this is however as close as we have come to the installation of such a project. On behalf of the Wooden Spoon volunteers I would like to thank Fusion for helping us deliver this wonderful project that will help to brighten the lives children and their families at Christopher’s for many years to come.
From our initial introduction to Fusion Community Initiatives we have been impressed by their professionalism. Their organisation, planning and attention to detail has ensured that our garden project to create three separate outdoor play/sensory areas was completed on target and with minimal disruption to the hospice services. The team were respectful to the sensitive needs of the environment they were working in and showed compassion and understanding to the children and their families, encouraging them to observe what was happening in the garden and where appropriate participate in the project. Their management of the external project delivery team on the final day was encouraging, supportive and patient and this ensured that everyone worked as a team to reach our objective. We now have an Outdoor Classroom, a Wonky Playhouse and an amazing Sensory Walkway for the children and families to enjoy when they come to stay at Christopher’s, this will add to the opportunities available for play and memory making. Thank you Fusion Community Initiatives from everyone at Christopher’s Children’s Hospice. We can happily recommend Fusion Community Initiatives for your next team building or community project.
James is a true management professional and demonstrated great skills throughout the stages of our project – from the initial meeting where he took great interest in the needs of the children, preparation, through to the project delivery. James has a very methodical work ethic; reflecting on each element to always find the right solution. Equipped with strong determination, and high man-management skills, James knows how to communicate, motivate, support the team, whilst taking into account the difficulties of children. He is very good at engaging the children in the project day making them feel that they are part of the build. I found my time working with James thoroughly enjoyable. He has a pleasant, nice character and always the time to listen to others.
When I met James the first time, I was impressed by his broad shoulders and his Irish accent (which I did not understand). I said myself "it will not be easy for us to communicate" but James has an incredible patience and, as the days passed by, little by little I began to understand what he was saying. James O' Malley is attentive to others; sharing his positive values in order to instill feelings of happiness and wellbeing. He is a good manager who takes pleasure in everything he does, and cares about his colleagues and his team. He is diligent - listening to difficulties, and helping people find their own solutions; so that everyone can develop their own talents and push themselves to succeed. He is entirely committed to each mission, and engages with great humour; taking care of every detail, from practical project elements right down to health and safety. Even when he is tired, James "does not let go". James is a nice person and sharing these few weeks with him was an unforgettable meeting.
Sacred Heart worked with James O’Malley on a playground improvement project to enhance the provision and quality of outdoor learning opportunities for 120 pupils in our four Reception and Year 1 classes. The project was a great success and James’ leadership was a significant reason why. James understood what the school wanted out of the project, the purpose of the project, was responsive to the needs of the school, accommodating with the pupils and extremely flexible when things needed changing. His attention to detail and understanding of working in a school environment were impressive too. All of this contributed to a successful project, delivered on time and within budget.
