Our consultancy is the best in the business

We know what you need to grow and be more successful. That's because BTA is run by former charity bosses who know the third sector - the issues, the challenges and what works - inside out. They're supported by a team of highly-skilled and knowledgable consultants. This approach has made us the market leader in Scotland and one of the biggest and most respected charity consultancy agencies in the UK.

We can help you with everything. From finding the right trustees for your board and guiding your income-generating strategy to providing a full range of interim support or working with you to create a brilliant communications strategy.

Our consultants are hugely experienced, passionate and trusted. We act as a supportive and sometimes challenging friend to our charity partners to help them grow and be the best they can be. Call us now on 01786 542224 for a friendly chat about how we can help you.

Learn more about some of our consultancy services below.

Governance


A skilled and passionate Board of Trustees is crucial if your charity is going to fulfil its potential. Our expertise helps you to ensure that you have the right people in place to strategically oversee and guide the vision and management of your organisation.


We can provide the very best candidates from both the charity and private sector. BTA's support begins with a matrix skills exercise set against your strategic goals and then identifies the best trustees for you. We also oversee a thorough education and induction process to ensure the new Trustees are ready for the challenge ahead. 


BTA has launched a programme called Corporate-to-Community, which is designed to find new and talented trustees with strong business skills and a range of other attributes to match your needs. The programme allows people who have skilled roles in business organisations to give something back to their communities or to causes dear to their heart.


Income generation


Generating money - and having a variety of income streams - is crucial for every charity. We can help you with all aspects of gathering the funds you need to do your work.


Fundraising is one major element of income generation. BTA consultants have unrivalled experience in all types of fundraising and can help you come up with successful new strategies and produce a clear, detailed and costed fundraising plan. We can provide a fundraising audit, help you develop a brilliant case for support and create a detailed and costed strategy. We also specialise in capital appeal fundraising.


Our expert consultants can give you support on grant and trust applications - a huge challenge to many charities which don't have the resources and expertise for a sustained programme of successful applications. Our team of highly-experienced trust fundraisers have brought in hundreds of thousands of pounds. We can help with all aspects of the process and give you support on a short or long-term basis.


We can also advise you on how to use all the assets held by your organisation to secure different types of income. This can include a social enterprise model, greater commercialisation and outsourcing. These are ways for you to cope with reduced statutory funding and enable you to build a robust and sustainable income generation model which works for your charity.


Communications


Most charities have got a great story to tell. But too many don’t have a plan in place to tell that story well. That means you're missing out on the chance to transform your charity, boost your fundraising performance and create wonderful partnerships with all of your stakeholders.


BTA has worked with many charities on the process that leads to a great communications plan. We match your specific needs to the right expert consultant - from digital marketing and donor communication to external messaging and complete integrated strategies for communications and fundraising.


We look at your communications resources, messages, skills and plans - and give you the best possible blueprint for improving the way you communicate as a charity.


Interim roles


You need interim help and quickly? Don't panic! We can provide a full range of support at the drop of a hat - from Chief Executive to a range of management positions. 


You can access BTA's pool of highly-experienced interim managers, saving you time and guaranteeing the right person with the expertise you need to fill the gap.


It’s also great value for money because our service costs the same as employing someone in the equivalent post. So we save you time and guarantee the right person to fill this gap. 


HR and organisational development Support


You can have the best people at your charity - but they still need to be supported by great human resources professionals. We have a top-notch group of HR consultants who are from the private, public and third sector, so they have the background and expertise to deal with all of your needs.


They can write a strategy, lead you through a disciplinary process, provide one-off advice, sit in as an HR interim or provide retained services. We can also support you with any organisational review or development requirements.
