Be bespoke

No 2 clients are the same so we don’t think “standard packages” work. From our initial conversations we create an approach that we think best supports your specific charity and your specific needs to achieve the best result
Bring insight but inform

Our role is clearly to bring both sector and technical expertise however, a key part of our role is to impart as much of that to you as is useful so that you are better able to support yourselves after our engagement is complete
Listen but challenge

We’re here to listen to your needs and wants but also use our knowledge to gently challenge. It’s important to build trust as we work together and allow challenge to ensure we land on the best outcome
Draw on expertise of others

Whilst our knowledge of is both wide and deep it’s important to acknowledge when specialists in certain systems know more. We have a broad network of partners that we draw upon as needed
