We’re Workshop Leaders and Trainers

Our workshops help individuals and teams build their capacity, confidence and creativity.

We work in partnership with organisations like The Fore Trust, CAST, CO3 and Superhighways to deliver training to their grantees. Our topics include governance, fundraising, evaluation, communications and volunteers. We’ve based these practical and interactive workshops on our experience of leading nonprofits.  We’ve designed them to give you the practical tools you need to create change.

    Comms Clinic

    Communicating the right message, knowing how to present yourself and your organisation on your website, social media channels and elsewhere can make the difference between whether you get funding, someone decides to volunteer, or they decide to retweet your message to their followers.

    In this small group introductory workshop, we will discuss the importance of stories and organisational messaging. We will dissect charity websites and social media channels – what works, what doesn’t and what could be improved so your website is compelling and your social media channels tell a better story about what you do.

  • Building Great Corporate Partnerships

    Building Great Corporate Partnerships

    Developing good corporate partnerships can bring numerous benefits to your organisation – increased revenue and awareness, skilled professional volunteers and great new board members. But the needs of a corporate partner can be quite different from those of a trust, foundation or a public funder.

  • Volunteer Management

    Volunteer Management

    Volunteers are often an essential part of how a nonprofit delivers its work. Yet the recruitment, management and retention of volunteers can often be a challenge. Drawing on our experience of running organisations that trained and deployed large numbers of volunteers, and of creating successful volunteer programmes ourselves, we developed this workshop to help nonprofits build successful volunteer programmes.

The workshop today was absolutely brilliant! Thank you so much, Gerald & Ben for your sound advice, giving us the space to reflect and really understand our words was very powerful . I heard stories retold in a heartfelt way that compelled me to hear what was being said and really brought the story to life in a way which I have not heard retold in that way before. Very moving and hugely compelling.

Your direction, your sound advice, your guidance and direction are second to none.

Thank you both
– Tracey, Chief Executive
