Get support

Feeling the pressure? Not sure where to turn next? We’re here to help.

Running a charity or community organisation is incredibly rewarding, but it also comes with its challenges. With the current pressures like the rising cost of living, fewer funding opportunities, and increased demand for services, it’s understandable if you’re feeling the strain. Add to that the difficulties in recruiting and retaining trustees or volunteers and the risk of burnout among staff and leaders!

Being proactive can make all the difference in keeping your doors open and your services running smoothly. 

CAN are here to support you every step of the way. Whether you’re just starting to notice a potential challenge or you’re already facing difficulties, reaching out sooner rather than later means we can help you put plans in place to manage risks before they grow into bigger problems.

Together, we can explore funding opportunities, provide strategic guidance, and offer the resources you need to help your organisation not just survive, but thrive. 

 CAN will help you with 

  • Organisational Health-Checks: Let’s take a look at your current situation together. We can help you spot areas of risk and identify growth opportunities. 
  • Strategic Planning: We’ll work with you to create a sustainable plan for your organisation’s future, making sure your activities are aligned with the resources and funding available. 
  • Good Governance: We’ll help you stay financially sound and legally compliant while making sure your organisation is set up to achieve its objectives effectively. 
  • Volunteer Management: From recruitment to retention, we’ll guide you in developing the best practices for managing your volunteers, so they feel valued and motivated. 
  • Funding Support: We can assist you in demonstrating the need for your project and help you develop a diverse funding strategy. Plus, we’ll support you through the grant application process. 
  • Training: Our range of training programs can help strengthen the work you do, giving you the tools and confidence to manage your organisation successfully. 

We’re here for you. Let’s work together to ensure your organisation continues to impact the community positively. Reach out to CAN today, and let’s start planning for a brighter future.
