Organisational Support
Organisations come in all shapes and sizes. Our work can include large organisations undergoing change-management and audit processes, or small business ready to scale their operations. We are able to walk alongside mainstream organisations who hope to achieve their cultural strategies and cultural organisations developing their frameworks to operate in the business world.
We do this by:
Help define business needs, strategy and operational milestones whilst maintaining Community ownership
Regular team meetings with leadership team and workforce analysis
HR Support and Recruitment
Establishing Accounting systems and building financial literacy amongst community stakeholders
Policy co-design, implementation and training
Grant writing, performance management and evaluation
