Our volunteer consultants are successful business professionals, drawn from a range of industries, backgrounds and lived experiences.
At no cost to you, they inject their knowledge and specific expertise into groups by working with staff and leaders to identify issues and support your decision making to find the right solutions.
We can find the right person to help you deal with operational challenges in areas such as finance, income generation, marketing and recruitment.
Or to take a strategic look across impact measurement, business planning or governance.
Our volunteer consultants will learn about your requirements and agree a plan of action which helps your organisation become more effective and sustainable – assisted by long-term support from Sported.
Not sure what support you need? Have a one-off conversation with a volunteer and let them help you identify next steps.
Provide us with the draft a minimum of 10 working days prior to the deadline to allow us to find the most appropriate volunteer and ensure they have sufficient time to provide quality feedback and allow you time to make adjustments.
Have a question that needs answering now or support that could be dealt with in a few emails or phone calls?
Some recent examples include:
We will match you with a volunteer to work with you over 6-12 months to help you to think about long-term development planning, your capacity and sustainability.
