Charities had a strategy and a plan, but Covid and the subsequent cost of living crisis have changed the landscape. Both have upended the old ways of supporting service users, recruiting volunteers and raising funds.
Your help is needed more than ever, and the expertise of your teams on the ground holds the key to extending reach and impact.
Suppose you’ve previously holed yourself up with the trustees to figure out new strategies or contingencies. In that case, you’re not leveraging the full strength of your charity’s experience.
One thing
Involve your team in delivery planning from day one. Select a respected representative sample of people from across your charity. Summarise where you are now. Help visualise what’s possible and plausible. Design and implement delivery. Your collaborators will buy into their plan and bring the energy to make it happen.
