Increasingly social enterprises and other not-for-profits are playing a key role in delivering public services. New organisations are emerging in the fields of housing and healthcare from local authorities and the NHS. These and older organisations in a variety of sectors are facing the challenges of new freedoms and responsibilities.

We are able to provide support to new and growing not-for-profits including:

• Finance – drafting financial policies and procedures; advising on internal financial control; reviewing service level agreements.
• Procurement – undertaking cost reduction reviews; drafting procurement strategies, policies and procedures.
• Governance – advising on governance arrangements and practices; delivering board and committee training.
• Human resources – advising on best practice.

We use consultants with recent experience of working with new and growing organisations in education, housing, regeneration and other sectors.

Moreover, we are sensitive to the culture and requirements of organisations with a strong commitment to mutual governance, user involvement and community engagement.
