Your questions, answered clearly

Book an Impact Review through the link in our navigation, or take the short Impact Diagnostic first. Either route is free and carries no obligation. The Impact Review is two short conversations, typically a week apart, and produces a written summary suitable for your senior team or trustees.

No. The Impact Review is always provided at no cost, regardless of whether further work follows. Many engagements end at the Review stage with a clearer picture and no further action needed.

Two short conversations, typically a week apart. The first is a structured discussion of your organisation, your team, and your current arrangements. The second presents findings and, where appropriate, what a proportionate response would look like.

No. If the Review finds that your team is not currently carrying meaningful pressure, or that the cost of intervention would not justify the return, we will tell you that directly.

A structured diagnostic and improvement service for purpose-led organisations. It identifies where your organisation may be under pressure across people, governance and capacity, and produces a written assessment with proportionate next steps.

Per-employee, agreed in writing before any delivery work begins. The Impact Review is always at no cost. Indicative full programme rates run from around £140 to £165 per employee per year. Exact figures are confirmed alongside the savings the Review identifies, so trustees see the net position before approving.

Real. A typical Review identifies recurring annual savings in pension charges and benefits efficiencies that exceed the full programme fee in year one. In an 85-employee engagement recently completed, pension savings alone came to £45,000 per year.

Yes. People (the benefits and pension review) is available as a standalone. Governance and Capacity pillars can be added later. A phased approach is genuinely available.

The initial programme runs for twelve months. Annual renewal is reviewed and agreed at the end of each term. There are no long lock-ins.

A written summary of the Impact Review at the outset. Quarterly engagement updates throughout. An annual impact review with reporting designed for trustee meetings and major funder updates.
