Capacity Building and organisational development

Are you struggling with key aspects of project management or delivery? 

Is your programme in danger of failing to deliver because individual projects are falling behind?

We can help build the skills, capacity and confidence organisations need to deliver successful projects and develop into new areas of work. We tailor our services according to organisations’ specific needs and make sure they complement and enhance existing organisational working methods and strategic priorities. 

We can help by:

• Developing and writing funding applications to public and private funding organisations including RDAs, LSCs, local authorities and Charitable Trusts
  
  
• Working with you or your funded projects to set up robust budgeting and financial management systems, including customised Excel Management Systems  
  
  
• Preparing a robust audit trail and maximising the use of supporting financial systems 
  
  
• Providing practical project management tools and techniques
  
  
• Helping you develop your marketing and beneficiary recruitment strategies
  
  
• Developing effective project evaluation
  
  
• Preparing reporting information according to funders’ requirements (e.g. quarterly finance claims, output reporting).
  
  
• Planning effective exit and succession strategies and implementation
