Clear finances. Confident trustees. Stronger community organisations.

We help charities, CICs and social enterprises understand cash and reserves, strengthen controls and show the value they create.

Management accounts, cash forecasts, reserves planning and reporting trustees can act on.

SOCIAL VALUE

Connect funding and activity to outcomes. Use financial information, practical measures and beneficiary stories to evidence your impact.

CIC SUPPORT

Advice on structure, tax, funding, reporting and sustainable growth.

COMMUNITY PROPERTY

Challenge: understanding the financial support provided through affordable space.

LOCAL INSIGHT

With Fylde Coast Resilience, we developed work on measuring value beyond GDP, helping local organisations bring community experience into a national policy conversation.

Awake and Plan-it ESG bring community leaders together through free Blackpool sessions.

Practical discussion covers funding, governance, financial sustainability and measuring social impact. Expert input and peer learning help participants leave with ideas they can use.
