Charity Support Plans and Services
Start where you are, and build a charity that works – one step at a time.
Most charities don’t need a long contract to begin. They need one clear next step. So our support is built to start small and grow with you: register your charity, fix the one thing that’s stuck, or talk a problem through in a single session – and move to ongoing support only when there’s a reason to. Whatever you choose, we get clear on what matters first, then do the work. That’s Charities Built with Clarity.
How Our Charity Support Works
Guidance and delivery in one place – and only what you actually need.
Most charities get one or the other: an adviser who tells them what to do but doesn’t help do it, or a contractor who builds something but can’t say whether it’s the right thing. We bring both together.
- Guidance - regular sessions where we help you work out what's really going on, decide what matters most, and make confident decisions.
- Delivery - the specialist work your team doesn't have the time or expertise for - systems, policies, fundraising strategy, websites, and more.
Everything listed under a plan is what it can cover, not a checklist we work through all at once. We start with what matters most for your charity and move on from there. You’re never buying five projects at the same time – you’re getting the right one, done properly, before the next.
On marketing and fundraising, we do the parts that need specialist craft: the strategy, the messaging, the ad copy, the landing pages. Running it stays with you – the campaigns, the conversations, the relationships with your supporters. Those depend on your voice, and only you have it.
Start Where You Are
For most charities, the best first step isn’t a plan – it’s one of these.
If you’re not ready for ongoing support, or you just need one thing sorted, start here. Each of these stands on its own, with no commitment beyond the work itself.
Charity Setup Support
Register right the first time, without the guesswork.
End-to-end help to set up a charity that’s compliant and credible from day one – drafting your charitable purposes, preparing your governing document and core policies, and guiding your registration application. Available at different levels, depending on how much you want to do yourself and how much you’d like us to handle.
One-Off Charity Project
Fix the one thing that’s holding your charity back.
A single, defined piece of work – a website, a CRM setup, a governance review, a fundraising plan – scoped on its own and delivered to a clear timeline. For charities that know what they need and want it done well, without an ongoing commitment.
Charity Strategy Consultation
Get unstuck in a single session.
A focused session on whatever’s in front of you – a decision you’re weighing up, a problem you can’t quite place, or simply needing to think it through with someone who knows the sector. You’ll leave with clear recommendations and practical next steps. Ideal when you want an experienced view without a longer arrangement.
Ongoing Charity Support Plans
When you’re ready for a partner, not just a project.
When one project isn’t enough – when you want someone alongside you month to month – our ongoing plans bring regular guidance and specialist delivery together. They start from three months, and grow into a longer partnership only when it’s working, and you want to continue.
Each plan covers the same four foundations – governance, strategy, systems and income – with more included, and closer support, as you move up. What’s listed is what each plan can cover, not what we build all at once. We work on what your charity needs most, in the right order.

When Ongoing Support Is the Right Fit
Not every charity needs a plan – here’s when one helps.
A single project fixes one thing. An ongoing plan makes sense when there’s more than one thing, when they’re connected, or when you want someone who knows your charity well enough to guide decisions as they come up. It isn’t better than a one-off – it’s for a different moment. If you’re not sure which you need, that’s exactly what the first call is for.
- Clear direction each month – regular guidance and decision support, so you stay on track
- Deeper insight – we learn your charity well, so the advice fits
- The right things, in order – connected support gets more done than isolated fixes
