Behind the Scenes
Faye
Last year I attended a talk about The Sock Mob and felt inspired by their work. I immediately joined the group on meetup.com and am fortunate to have met some truly courageous and inspirational people both as part of the Sock Mob and also the homeless people we have met on our walks. We all have great ambitions for the future of Unseen Tours and Sock Mob Events and I feel very privileged to be involved as a tour guide coach and events organiser.

Seven years after I first stepped out on the streets of London with a group of friends to meet with London’s homeless, hear their stories and share some of their time, I’m thrilled and humbled to be a part of Unseen Tours. Coaching our guides and building the vision with them has given my life much meaning and joy. I hope it will do the same for all who walk with us.

I’ve been coaching the Brick Lane tour and buddying for about 6 months now. The coaching involves supporting the guides in researching the history of the area primarily using Google and Wikipedia. I really enjoy walking the route with the guides and helping them learn their lines and tightening the script. I find buddying the tours to be quite social and think that it’s an enjoyable way to spend a couple of hours on the day.

I’m truly honored to have been a part of the Unseen Tours. As one of the coaches for the Temple tour its incredible to have seen the progress that Viv and Mark have made to get the tour ready in a very short period of time. I beam with pride every time that I see them put it on. As the Buddy Co-Ordinator, I ensure that the guides who have requested buddies have a friendly face to go on the tour with them. Its been challenging at times but its has been incredibly rewarding. I wouldn’t change the experience for anything!
Tour Support Team
Our tour “buddies”, coordinators, PR/design gurus, playwrights and professional tour guides have all been invaluable for their commitment and skilled input. None of this would have been possible without the love, dedication and belief of everyone involved. And this is just the beginning.
Web Team
Our fantastic web team deserves special mention, as they have put together the marvel you see before you in record time! Paul our designer, and Patrick our web developer, with support from Geeta and Andy, have responded with tireless grace to various ad hoc dramas, and continue to be valued members of Sock Mob Events.
