SO Consultancy Voluntary

We take a businesslike approach to all Social Development projects and believe that the following three ingredients are required:

· Structuring the organisation so there is trace-ability and transparency.
· Management of the organisation so there is accountability, especially of the funds given to it.
· Mentoring of key individuals within the organisation for them to better understand the professionalism required to conduct business in the Voluntary Sector in the 21^st Century.

We do not believe that Social Development Projects should attract any less able people than business nor do we believe that they should be any less successful, including success in fundraising. We have raised many millions of pounds in grants over the years and are able to involve both Public and Private monies to achieve the goals of Voluntary Organisations.

One of the key issues taxing the Voluntary Sector is the disenfranchisement of organisations from years of neglect. This often leads to very unhealthy engagement models of demand for money which is akin to begging, and to supply the grants without examining and monitoring the deliverables periodically. This would not happen within the Commercial Sector and we do not believe it should happen in the Voluntary Sector.

If your organisation is in need of help, contact us. We will give you a sympathetic ear and a very professional service.

SO Consultancy is a strong advocate not only of CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) but also of Social Entrepreneurism. We believe that anything that leads to a sense of community cohesion, in a scaleable and sustainable manner, is a good thing.
