Not for Profit
Not for profit - but break-even is not acceptable! Commercial pressures are just as acute in the "third sector" as in the rest of the economy. Many charities find it increasingly difficult to compete for voluntary giving. The complexity of the application processes to grant giving bodies and for the lottery or local government funding take valuable time and resources. The effort to raise funds needs to matched by attention to operating efficiency and costs control.
The Government is keen to encourage greater participation of voluntary bodies in the provision of social care and support. Never has there been greater need for expert management to adjust to the new demands and increasing rate of change.
AshtonPenney Interim manages a huge resource of senior management talent, available at very short notice for specific projects to address all these issues - not to consult or advise, but actually to make things happen. The interims we suggest you use will have completed similar projects for other organisations - their track records of achievement give you confidence that they will deliver for you.
AshtonPenney Interim, founded in 1994, has a long history of work with charities and not for profit organisations. The company has consultants across the UK, drawing on one of the largest registers of interim executives in the country. We strive to be close to our customers - not just geographically, but in our understanding of the culture and issues of the organisations we work with.
Charities
interim executives are sometimes used by Charities to bridge a vacancy or run a special project. Radhika Holstrom, of Third Sector magazine assesses the costs and benefits of bringing in such staff.
