Your charity’s essential foundations
From your frontline services to your finances, fundraising, IT, people and beyond - these are the areas every charity needs to master to grow and thrive.
The Mountains we climb with you
We call them Mountains because each one represents a critical area your charity must climb and strengthen.
Together, they form the foundations that let you deliver more, raise more, and build trust with funders, staff and the communities you serve.
Master all eight, and you reach the 9th Mountain: a charity that’s stable, sustainable, and truly delivering on its mission.
SERVICE DELIVERY
From rethinking your entire delivery model to fine-tuning a single programme, we help charities build services that are practical, fundable, and truly life-changing.
FINANCE
We keep your finances watertight, future-ready and fully aligned with your goals - so your charity can focus on impact, not just survival.
FUNDRAISING
From trusts and corporates to legacies and digital campaigns, we help you build a fundraising strategy that’s structured, sustainable, and truly pays off.
IT
From protecting sensitive information to streamlining your everyday tech, we’ll make sure your charity’s IT works brilliantly - without breaking your budget.
MARKETING
From brand and websites to email, social and PR, we’ll help your charity reach the right people, build trust, and grow support - all with a clear, strategic plan.
LEGAL
From policy audits to trustee reports and governance reviews, we’ll help your charity stay compliant, protected and strategically sound - without the cost of a full legal team.
HUMAN RESOURCES
From policies and toolkits to culture change and virtual directors, we’ll help you build a charity team that’s safe, supported, and set up to thrive.
STRATEGIC PLANNING
From setting your vision to building practical plans and tracking progress, we’ll help your charity move with purpose - and reach the outcomes that matter.
The 9th Mountain
Reaching the fabled 9th Mountain is the very peak of your charity's journey. It’s where sustainability and mission fulfilment meet.
It’s the summit. The view from the top. It’s where all the hard work pays off and everything clicks into place.
Your services are strong. Your finances are steady. Your team knows where it’s going and how to get there. You’re raising funds with purpose, leading with confidence, and making the kind of impact you set out to achieve.
Planting your flag at the top of the 9th Mountain is a symbol of your charity's legacy and its commitment to effecting change.
