Charities are under increasing pressure to evidence their performance and to demonstrate value for money.
"If you are looking for the sort of clarity and unbiased assessment that leads to real positive change, then Pete’s who you are looking for”
Steve Hedley, CEO, Trinity Homeless Projects
- Governance Reviews by an independent, external expert are recommended at 3-5 year intervals. Based around the Charity Governance Code, I use a range of tools to assess performance of this critical function and make recommendations to improve it further.
- Organisational Strengths Review (MOT) - whether as part of BIG Lottery funding, or to establish a baseline for improvement, this independent and objective review of the key functions is vital for a strong future - like an MOT for your organisation. The feedback is presented using a straightforward traffic-light scoring with an action plan that highlights the strengths. pinpoints any limiting issues, and describes prioritised ways to address key challenges.
- Impact reviews - increasingly, as well as describing their outputs, charities want to evidence their impact. I carry out an independent review and deliver the findings in an attractive, printed format which helps communicate with external stakeholders.
- Project and department evaluation - from stand-alone service-user surveys to troubleshooting underperforming staff teams, I carry out one-off, independent evaluations and make recommendations regarding improvements.
"We asked Pete to conduct a holistic evaluation to make sure that our governance remained coherent and effective. His feedback was delivered with consideration and left everyone encouraged that they were performing well but also motivated to look for ways in which we can continue to improve."
Bill Sivewright, CEO, Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance
