Strategic planning

The environment that charities work in is constantly changing. To tackle poverty, illness, prejudice and crime in the best way possible, charities need to have vision, goals and a clear strategy for success.

Our strategic planning work with charities often falls into one of these areas:

• Market research: We can help you to understand the context in which you work, including the needs you are addressing, other charities in the field, and the funding environment.

• Building a strategy: We can help you focus your mission, articulate your vision and work out the best path to achieving them.

• Developing an ‘impact network’: We can help you think about how to work with other charities in the sector to achieve better results.

To speak to one of our consultants about how we can help you, call Casey Stander on 020 7620 4858.

But they could make even more of a difference in people's lives by working with partners in their 'impact network'. An impact network includes organisations with all sorts of activities that help to deal with the same problem - for example, health care, housing support and education can all help to tackle homelessness.
