We provide evaluation and advisory services to organisations which are either charities or which allocate a significant proportion of earnings to education or the performing arts.

We specialise in undertaking corporate health checks and efficiency reviews. In doing so, we combine sensitivity towards those who dedicate their working lives to charities, with a focus on Trustees’/Governors’ requirement for confidential, focussed, objective, and impartial reporting.

We also help educational and arts charities to:

	Keep executives’ and trustees’ decisions fully informed
	Fulfil their charitable and/or corporate objectives

	Select the best possible key support staff
	Ensure that trustees/governors are enabled to fulfil their statutory obligations.
	Develop the effectiveness of their support staff
	Obtain best value from providers of services (e.g. professional, financial, contractual)

	All fees are agreed with clients, in advance, and tailored to specific needs.
	Fee quotes are based on interview, and assessment of individual requirements and resources.
	The initial assessment and quotation are prepared without charge.
	Where appropriate, assistance with fees may be available to charities.
