Blasing Trails: Celebrating Women Who Shaped the Charity Sector (and Why Their Skills Still Matter) - 1. Josephine Butler (1828-1906): The Advocate for Social Purity Her Impact: Butler dedicated her life to fighting for the rights of marginalized women, particularly against the Contagious Diseases Acts, which unfairly targeted sex workers. She spearheaded campaigns, established organizations, and travelled tirelessly to raise awareness. Relevant Skills: Advocacy and Campaigning: Butler's ability to mobilize public opinion and challenge oppressive laws is a masterclass in effective advocacy. Today, charities still rely on strong advocacy to influence policy and drive social change. Resilience and Determination: Facing intense opposition and personal attacks, Butler never wavered. Her unwavering commitment is a testament to the power of perseverance in the face of adversity, a crucial trait for any charity leader. Building Coalitions: She was skilled at bringing together diverse groups to support her cause, a critical skill when working with a range of stake holders. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eac8cf4a33d2720271dc2b6/dbe76c82-e07f-4047-905d-59aeef5ffee9/download.jpeg Blog - Blasing Trails: Celebrating Women Who Shaped the Charity Sector (and Why Their Skills Still Matter) - 2. Octavia Hill (1838-1912): The Pioneer of Social Housing Her Impact: Hill believed in providing decent housing and opportunities for the poor. She pioneered the concept of social housing, emphasizing the importance of community and individual development. Relevant Skills: Strategic Vision: Hill's vision for social housing went beyond simply providing shelter. She understood the interconnectedness of housing, health, and well-being, demonstrating the importance of a holistic approach. Practical Implementation: She was not just a visionary; she was a skilled administrator and manager, capable of turning her ideas into reality. Charities today need leaders who can translate vision into tangible results. Empathetic Leadership: She worked closely with the people she served, understanding their needs and empowering them to improve their lives. This people first approach is always needed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eac8cf4a33d2720271dc2b6/6819a400-20a8-43bd-a99e-81a7facbc649/images.jpeg Blog - Blasing Trails: Celebrating Women Who Shaped the Charity Sector (and Why Their Skills Still Matter) - 3. Dr. Maude Royden (1876-1956): The Social Reformer and Pacifist Her Impact: Royden was a powerful voice for social justice and peace. She advocated for women's suffrage, social reform, and international cooperation. She was also one of the first women to preach in a non-conformist church in England. Relevant Skills: Public Speaking and Communication: Royden was a compelling speaker who could inspire and motivate audiences. Effective communication is essential for charities to raise awareness, build support, and influence policy. Courage and Conviction: She was unafraid to challenge conventional thinking and speak out against injustice. This courage is vital for charities that are working to address difficult and controversial issues. Intersectional Thinking: Royden understood the interconnectedness of social issues, advocating for women's rights, peace, and social justice. This intersectional approach is increasingly important in today's complex world. https://www.mikepreston-consultancy.co.uk/blog/setting-business-goals monthly 0.5 2025-02-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eac8cf4a33d2720271dc2b6/1c028161-1172-4d50-804d-031d84a46575/Reflecting+on+the+Past%2C+Planning+for+the+Future.jpg Blog -

Empowering Change: The 2024 King's Speech and Its Impact on Charities - Strengthening Social Safety Nets One of the flagship announcements in the 2024 King's Speech was the commitment to bolster the social safety net, including increased funding for mental health services, homelessness prevention, and food security programs. For charities already working tirelessly in these areas, this presents a dual-edged sword. Opportunities: Government Partnership: With increased funding, charities can look forward to partnering more closely with government bodies, leveraging resources to scale their impact. Increased Public Awareness: High-profile initiatives can elevate public awareness around the issues charities are addressing, potentially boosting donations and volunteer support. Challenges: Competing for Funds: As the government channels more funds to social programs, charities may find themselves competing for these same grants and funding opportunities. Integration Complexities: Aligning charitable initiatives with new government policies and programs might require significant adjustments and re-evaluation of existing strategies. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eac8cf4a33d2720271dc2b6/f14cd33b-e4ec-41d6-922e-77f9d1399241/Designer+%286%29.jpeg Blog - Empowering Change: The 2024 King's Speech and Its Impact on Charities - Embracing Technological Innovation The speech also highlighted a national drive towards embracing technological innovation, underscored by investments in digital infrastructure and skills training. For charities, particularly those lagging in technological adoption, this focus ushers in transformative possibilities. Opportunities: Enhanced Outreach: Digital tools can revolutionize how charities engage with their audiences, from fundraising to awareness campaigns, making it easier to reach a broader and more diverse demographic. Operational Efficiency: Adoption of advanced technologies can streamline operations, reducing overhead costs and increasing transparency and accountability to donors. Challenges: Digital Divide: Smaller, grassroots charities may struggle to keep pace with required technological advancements, potentially widening the gap between well-resourced organizations and those operating on tighter budgets. Training and Adaptation: Ensuring staff and volunteers are adequately trained in new technologies can be a daunting and resource-intensive process. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eac8cf4a33d2720271dc2b6/9892972b-2ac9-421e-866d-a90151ca412f/Designer+%287%29.jpeg Blog - Empowering Change: The 2024 King's Speech and Its Impact on Charities - Environmental Commitments His Majesty’s speech underscored an ambitious environmental agenda aimed at tackling climate change, including initiatives that encourage eco-friendly practices and sustainable development. This green pivot offers a unique intersection for charities focused on environmental and social causes. Opportunities: Sustainable Funding Sources: Grants and funding dedicated to environmental sustainability can open new streams of financial support for charities aligning their missions with ecological goals. Collaborative Ventures: Environmental initiatives often require multi-stakeholder collaboration, providing charities with opportunities to partner with businesses, governments, and other nonprofits in innovative ways. Challenges: Compliance Requirements: Navigating new environmental regulations and ensuring compliance can be challenging, especially for smaller charities with limited resources. Balancing Priorities: Charities might find it difficult to balance their core missions with new environmental mandates, leading to potential mission-drift. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eac8cf4a33d2720271dc2b6/3547aa55-6f39-4b0f-99bf-de9de20d7da2/Designer+%288%29.jpeg Blog - Empowering Change: The 2024 King's Speech and Its Impact on Charities - Economic Measures and Community Support Finally, addressing economic resilience and community support was a cornerstone of the 2024 King's Speech. With a focus on local economies and bolstering support for small businesses, charities operating at the community level may find themselves at the heart of revitalization efforts. Opportunities: Community Empowerment: Charities focused on economic empowerment and community development can collaborate on initiatives designed to bolster local economies, creating synergies that drive collective growth. Volunteerism Boost: Economic revitalization often leads to increased civic engagement and volunteerism, benefiting charities in both human resources and local endorsement. Challenges: Resource Allocation: Economic measures might prioritize business recovery over direct charity support, necessitating strategic resource planning for continued efficacy. Funding Shifts: As economic priorities shift, charities may need to diversify their funding strategies, ensuring they remain sustainable in changing financial climates. https://www.mikepreston-consultancy.co.uk/blog/stakeholder-conflict monthly 0.5 2024-07-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eac8cf4a33d2720271dc2b6/69fa88f1-1f8c-492f-8906-7bb956be94f7/Stakeholder+Conflict+Header.jpeg Blog - Managing Stakeholder Conflict: A Pathway to Shared Outcomes and Enhanced Understanding - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eac8cf4a33d2720271dc2b6/41eeff5d-df14-419a-92a2-6b144ba159b0/Resolving+Stakeholder+Conflict.jpeg Blog - Managing Stakeholder Conflict: A Pathway to Shared Outcomes and Enhanced Understanding - Understanding Stakeholder Conflict Stakeholders are individuals or groups with an interest in the outcomes of a project, service or activity. They can range from team members, executives, clients, suppliers, to community members. Stakeholder conflict typically arises due to: 1. Divergent Interests: Each stakeholder may have different priorities, expectations, and objectives. 2. Communication Gaps: Misunderstandings and a lack of clear communication can exacerbate disagreements. 3. Resource Allocation: Disputes over resources, whether time, money, or personnel, can lead to tension. 4. Risk Perceptions: Different stakeholders often have varying degrees of risk tolerance and perspectives on how risks should be managed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eac8cf4a33d2720271dc2b6/b1fc5fd7-18bc-4f68-954c-6356e25a795f/Designer.jpeg Blog - Managing Stakeholder Conflict: A Pathway to Shared Outcomes and Enhanced Understanding - The Importance of Shared Outcomes One of the foundational strategies in managing stakeholder conflict is to emphasise shared outcomes. Here’s why focusing on common goals can be transformative: - Unified Direction: When stakeholders recognise common objectives, it gives them a unified direction. This makes it easier to align their efforts and minimises friction. - Enhanced Collaboration: Shared outcomes foster a spirit of collaboration rather than competition. Stakeholders are more likely to work together constructively. - Increased Commitment: When stakeholders see their interests reflected in the project goals, they’re more likely to remain committed and engaged. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eac8cf4a33d2720271dc2b6/7d66ee2b-12cb-4709-a469-0ae785bb7bb9/Designer+%281%29.jpeg Blog - Managing Stakeholder Conflict: A Pathway to Shared Outcomes and Enhanced Understanding - Fostering Mutual Understanding Equally important is fostering mutual understanding among stakeholders. Here are key strategies to enhance understanding and cooperation: 1. Active Listening: Encourage stakeholders to truly listen to each other. Active listening fosters empathy and helps in understanding different perspectives. 2. Transparent Communication: Regular and transparent communication builds trust. Ensure that all stakeholders have access to pertinent information and are informed of any changes or developments. 3. Facilitating Dialogue: Create environments where stakeholders can express their concerns and ideas openly. Facilitate regular meetings, workshops, or brainstorming sessions to bring different voices to the table. 4. Clarifying Expectations: Clearly outline the roles, responsibilities, and expectations for each stakeholder. This reduces ambiguities that can lead to conflict. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eac8cf4a33d2720271dc2b6/f6257339-a89d-423d-9786-be429206a3f2/Designer+%282%29.jpeg Blog - Managing Stakeholder Conflict: A Pathway to Shared Outcomes and Enhanced Understanding - Strategies for Managing Conflict 1. Identify and Address Early: Early identification and resolution of potential conflicts can prevent escalation. Encourage stakeholders to voice concerns early in the process. 2. Negotiation and Mediation: Use negotiation and mediation techniques to find win-win solutions. A mediator can be particularly helpful in resolving deep-seated conflicts by providing an unbiased perspective. 3. Focus on Interests, Not Positions: Encourage stakeholders to focus on their underlying interests rather than fixed positions. This opens the door to creative solutions that satisfy multiple interests. 4. Develop Conflict Resolution Protocols: Establish clear protocols for addressing conflicts that arise. Having a predefined process can help manage tensions more efficiently. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eac8cf4a33d2720271dc2b6/fffba5ce-a398-473b-99c9-a3339acb71cc/Designer+%283%29.jpeg Blog - Managing Stakeholder Conflict: A Pathway to Shared Outcomes and Enhanced Understanding - Conclusion: Embracing Conflict for Greater Success Managing stakeholder conflict is not just about resolving disputes; it’s about turning conflict into a catalyst for collective success. By focusing on shared outcomes and fostering mutual understanding, project managers can transform potential conflicts into opportunities for stronger collaboration and enhanced innovation. Remember, the goal isn't to eliminate conflicts entirely—that's neither realistic nor desirable. Instead, the aim is to manage conflicts constructively, ensuring they serve as stepping stones towards achieving shared success and mutual understanding. Here’s to navigating the complex yet rewarding path of stakeholder management with confidence, compassion, and clarity! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eac8cf4a33d2720271dc2b6/abc3c2c0-b162-41b2-a8b7-c2f2272ef2c8/Designer+%284%29.jpeg Blog - Managing Stakeholder Conflict: A Pathway to Shared Outcomes and Enhanced Understanding We're in the process of developing e-learning, webinars and resources to help you focus on Stakeholder Engagement.

People who are in charge of a charity, often called trustees or board members, have important jobs. They make big decisions about the charity's work, like what projects to start, how to raise money, and how to spend it. These decisions are generally made in partnership with paid senior managements who taker their direction from the board by implementing the boards decisions and taking responsibility for tasks delegated to them by the board. Trustees must also make sure the charity stays true to its mission—the special goal it was created to achieve. They need to be honest, work well with others, and always think about what's best for the charity. Good governance means that a charity will earn the trust of the people it helps, its donors, and the public. It's like being the captain of a ship; you have to steer it in the right direction and keep everyone on board safe and working together. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eac8cf4a33d2720271dc2b6/3f4c5edc-6e06-4a75-afb5-6727eac69983/Effective+Governance.jpeg Blog - Understanding Charity Governance: A Must for Accountability, Transparency, and Impact - What are the Key Components of Efficient Charity Governance? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eac8cf4a33d2720271dc2b6/12044196-18df-428c-9de0-044919bfcb01/Benefits+of+Effective+Goverrnance.jpeg Blog - Understanding Charity Governance: A Must for Accountability, Transparency, and Impact - What are the Benefits of Effective Charity Governance? Ensuring Financial Accountability and Preventing Misuse When a charity shows that it handles money wisely, people feel more confident about donating. It's like making sure every dollar goes to the right place and isn't wasted or stolen. This is super important because it helps the charity do its job without any problems. Increasing Public Trust through Transparency Being open about how the charity works makes people trust it more. Think of it like letting someone see how a magic trick is done – it builds trust. When a charity shares where the money comes from and where it goes, people are more likely to support it. Enhancing the Charity's Reputation and Credibility A good name is like a gold medal for a charity. When people hear good things about a charity, they believe it's doing great work. This means more help and support from the community, which can lead to even more good deeds. Improving the Charity's Impact and Effectiveness The better a charity does its job, the more it can help others. It's like being a superhero – the stronger you are, the more people you can save. By using resources well and making smart choices, a charity can change more lives for the better. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eac8cf4a33d2720271dc2b6/6137c2e4-5705-4e8f-9e1d-ede7ff90c71b/Challenges+of+Effective+Governance.jpeg Blog - Understanding Charity Governance: A Must for Accountability, Transparency, and Impact - What are the Challenges of Effective Governance? Effective governance is crucial for the success of any society or organization. However, there are several challenges that can make it difficult to govern well. Here are some of the main hurdles: Communication Issues: It's hard to get the right message across to everyone. Leaders must share information clearly and listen to people's concerns. Diverse Opinions: People have different ideas and opinions. Finding common ground can be tough. Limited Resources: There's often not enough money or supplies to do everything that's needed. Leaders have to make tough choices about what to do first. Political Conflicts: Different political groups may struggle against each other instead of working together. This can slow down or stop important decisions. Lack of Accountability: When leaders don't have to answer for their actions, they might not always do what's best for everyone. Rapid Change: The world is changing fast. Keeping up with new technologies and global events can be overwhelming. Public Participation: Getting citizens involved in decision-making can be challenging, but it's important for democracy. Economic Pressures: Money problems, like debt or unemployment, can limit what a government can do. To overcome these challenges, leaders need to be honest, open-minded, and willing to work with others. It's not easy, but good governance can lead to a better future for everyone. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eac8cf4a33d2720271dc2b6/81d36c1d-ae06-46a0-a06b-77c0ca142891/Become+a+Trustee+with+our+Training+Webinar.jpeg Blog - Understanding Charity Governance: A Must for Accountability, Transparency, and Impact - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.mikepreston-consultancy.co.uk/blog/15-4-2024-1 monthly 0.5 2024-04-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eac8cf4a33d2720271dc2b6/6184c628-af44-42f0-8b6c-d281a653558a/20240415+-+First+Trustee+Meeting+-+Header.jpg Blog - Empowering Realities: Insightful Lessons for Your First Trustee Meeting - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.mikepreston-consultancy.co.uk/blog/27-3-2024 monthly 0.5 2024-03-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eac8cf4a33d2720271dc2b6/90893ffb-3027-4daa-b046-c71463ff6440/Design+4.png Blog - Funding You're Core Requirements - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eac8cf4a33d2720271dc2b6/ecfe1946-7151-4e06-8fc9-b607f5e462da/1711565082997.jpeg Blog - Funding You're Core Requirements - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eac8cf4a33d2720271dc2b6/7c8a6c25-0bc1-4c22-a2e2-36c757603c1f/1711565083017.jpeg Blog - Funding You're Core Requirements - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.mikepreston-consultancy.co.uk/blog/20240317 monthly 0.5 2024-03-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eac8cf4a33d2720271dc2b6/11b82fe5-a0b1-4845-bec6-0a679b35c8f3/1710684683049.png Blog - Navigating the Changing Tides: A Look at the State of the Sector - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eac8cf4a33d2720271dc2b6/b1dbfe88-fe16-4da0-aaf8-afc18687568f/Design+2.jpg Blog - Navigating the Changing Tides: A Look at the State of the Sector - The sector is significantly underfunded as a direct result of long term under funding of public sector contracts. This is something we have always know, but I feel as a result of Covid, and then the cost of living crisis, its become more obvious. I expect over the coming year, we will start seeing more and more charities having to make difficult decisions about service delivery. The wiggle room that trustees may have had in the past is no longer, as levels of reserves have dropped even further after COVID and the Cost of Living crisis. 59% of the. I believe a significant cause of this is that most people don’t generally understand the governance around the requirement to ensure all work fulfills their objective. There is also an expectation from the public that charities should be there to pick up the pieces, regardless of the context they are working in. I think part of this perception is as a direct result of the success charities had in adapting during the Covid Crisis. This has continued in the Cost of Living Crisis. However, we also have to bear in mind the political and economic context. People are currently faced with the largest tax burden in years. Mortgage rates have soared and wages have not moved with them. This scenario means more and more people have less cash in their hand, and greater expenses, despite no change in circumstances. People who previously didn’t need support, are now in a place that they do. Society also seems to have changed since COVID, and people are no longer as ashamed to be asking for help when they need it. All of these factors put a huge amount of pressure on the whole system. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eac8cf4a33d2720271dc2b6/5183aec4-7efd-4294-9f33-232caf951e16/Design+2+%281%29.jpeg Blog - Navigating the Changing Tides: A Look at the State of the Sector - The majority of the public, 59%, want the government to work in partnership with charities more I think a significant part of this perception comes from the fact that most people probably don’t recognize just how much these entities already collaborate. There seems to be an assumption by the public that charities are largely funded through donations and grants. This assumption could be fuelled by an unwillingness from the public to admit that they are funding these services, which are often underfunded in many cases. I’d like to see a greater partnership working in public. It would be ideal to have local boards made up of local charities. They could not only share real stories about the ground reality with the government and local authorities, but also identify areas of need. Additionally, such boards could provide opportunities for different organizations to collaborate and address the challenges our communities face. It would be wonderful to see this model elevated to a national level, with community groups advising the devolved nations on project funding. I’d also like to see more honest conversations between public sector funders and service providers about the length of contracts awarded. It needs to be recognized that 2-year contracts often do not provide enough stability to achieve the full benefits of a service. It's great to see some public sector funders recognizing this issue with more 10-year contracts being awarded. However, these contracts should be monitored and evaluated in new ways to ensure progress is made, even if traditional performance indicators aren’t demonstrating it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eac8cf4a33d2720271dc2b6/5ff41244-8e78-4da7-a795-66da93211b88/Design+2+%282%29.jpeg Blog - Navigating the Changing Tides: A Look at the State of the Sector - Charity leaders are having fewer strategic conversations than they were three years ago. This is concerning, but there seems to be a clear reason for this decrease. Firstly, charity leaders spent most of COVID firefighting. They were constantly adapting their organizations, at times on a week-to-week basis, all while trying to balance their usual responsibilities and being pulled in all directions. COVID impacted everything to such an extent that CEOs were forced to get involved in riskier conversations that they normally wouldn’t. Two years later and the leaders are just beginning to breathe and embed some of the lessons learned from COVID into their regular operations, adapting to the new world. Just when charity leaders started adjusting to the post-pandemic environment, they were hit with the cost of living crisis. This crisis has strained services for charities as much as COVID did, adding further pressure onto an already struggling sector. Many charities had already exhausted their safety nets during the pandemic and had limited options to navigate the cost of living crisis. These consecutive crises forced many charities to rethink and restart their business plans without having the proper capacity to do so. As a result, many charities have had to put strategic thinking on hold to ensure they could continue delivering essential services to the public.
