Community / Social Enterprise Development
With 20 years of experience in running and developing Community and Social Enterprise Projects in Scotland, I can help you with yours.
I bring a degree of learning from success and failure alike. I have experience in start-up, consolidation, development, funding, property lease, trading, governance, marketing and much more. And if I can't help you specifically, I can call on the services of a range of contacts who share my passion and will help to get you to where you need to be.
One key element of my support is to understand, and help you stick to, the reason WHY your project or organisation exists. No matter what development process we work through together, we will never lose sight of WHY this is needed. The key though is that I'm not here to take over or do everything for you. Yes I will help, guide and provide a wide range of information and documents as needed, but the aim is to help you , those around you, and your organisation to develop to be exactly what you were designed to be. I will walk alongside you the whole way with the ultimate aim of knowing that when I walk away, you will be as equipped as needed to maintain momentum.
If your project is faith based, then head over to my Faith and Ministry Development page. Additionally, if you are developing a church building either as a faith project, or as a community group that is taking on one of the many church buildings that are closing, then head over to my Church Building Development page, with the subtitle "Go and Do Likewise".
Now obviously I don't do this for free. I wish I could! So please check out my current rates here, but let's not let finances get in the way of helping you and your organisation move forward.
So what can I help you with? Why not get in touch to start the discussion. I'd love to grab a coffee with you and talk through the possibilities.
