New company aiming to future-proof Third Sector organisations

A new company has been launched to help charities and not for profit organisations meet the diverse challenges they face.

In The Round Advisors is the brainchild of Elliot Harris of Strategy & Governance, Ian Crocombe of I and I Business Solutions, Sue Thorn of Sue Thorn Consulting and Rachel Hayward of Ask the Chameleon.

The business will provide joined-up help and guidance for directors, trustees and senior management on a wide range of issues including the demands of sustaining income, complying with increasing regulation and the often-complex needs of service users.

Its founders say the plan is to help future proof Third Sector organisations as well as equipping them to deal with problems in the here-and-now.

Harris, who is based in Leicestershire, said: “In the Round offers a unique proposition to Third Sector organisations who do not know how to maximise their resources, contacts and funding to create strong foundations for the future. They face some significant challenges that I and my business partners can help them to tackle, providing practical advice and steps to succeed.”

Hayward, managing director at Derby and Burton-based Ask the Chameleon, added: “There’s something unique about the challenges faced by charities and other not for profit organisations.

“We each have a unique combination of skills and experience from across business and charities plus a real passion for making a difference. We are all looking forward to working with some ambitious forward thinking charities and social enterprises.”
