Abigail Rainey

LfE Manager, Babcock

I have been with Babcock since August 2023 and am currently the LfE manager for one of our projects. I am currently completing my second degree, this time in project management so thought this challenge was a perfect opportunity to put what I read into practice.

Although stressful at times, the benefits we were able to deliver for iSight made any stress worth it. Working alongside a team that I would never have met outside of the project made the experience even better.

Much like the rest of the team when I am not in work I am outdoors with my dog and making the most of the sun!

Session | APM Project Management Challenge winners 2026: How our project delivered benefits to iSight Cornwall.

Sight’s mission is to provide practical, emotional, and timely support to people with sight loss. They do this through face-to-face sessions helping them live independently with specialised equipment. Their vision is focused on creating a future where people with sight loss have opportunities and live without limitation.

We Project managed the delivery of a high-quality gaming livestream on both Twitch and TikTok. This was hosted by Dom who is a blind team member to showcase the accessibility opportunities for those affected by sight loss, to promote awareness and future-proof the charity.

Our planned benefits were to drive direct revenue into the charity, boost community engagement and increase awareness. Our success criteria followed the topic of iSight’s 170th anniversary. First was to increase live viewers by 170, increase donations by £170 and increase followers by 170. We far exceeded those goals and reached nearly 1,500 viewers, raised £480, and gained over 1,300 followers. We gained global reach for iSight, with viewers and followers from USA, Canada, and the Netherlands.
