In a constantly changing environment, it can be difficult for third sector organisations to keep pace with new developments and adapt. There are many challenges ahead, not least in the increasing demands of competition, tendering and collaboration, which is exactly where brap can offer a bedrock of knowledge and support.

We have over ten years’ experience working with the third sector. You’ll find we quickly understand your specific needs and can match or tailor our support programmes to help you offer the local community an even higher quality service.

Impact and performance support

At a time when voluntary and community organisations are being asked to prove their ‘added value’, brap have introduced an innovative package designed specifically for the third sector. Now you can engage more effectively with your local community and communicate the results. Funders, policy makers and others will be impressed by your ability to measure and market the impact of your work.

Funding in a competitive market

With the trend in the public sector towards commissioning and contracting, we can help your organisation meet the challenges of longer-term contracts, fair sharing of risk, the elimination of unnecessary bureaucracy, and the use of full cost recovery accounting and costing techniques. We will help you understand what is needed to be in the best position to win funding.

BME third sector support

At brap we have over a decade’s experience in supporting BME third sector organisation. In that time we have developed an understanding of the unique challenges facing ethnic minority leaders. Perceptions of ethnic organisations as ‘niche’ providers able to only serve their ’own’ community can significantly reduce the range of tendering opportunities open to you. Our support on rethinking your core business and organisational skills can help you reposition yourself in an increasingly competitive marketplace.

Strategy and leadership development

Performance isn’t just about money: it’s about the role of a leader, the board of trustees, delegation, management, and staff support. We offer a range of professional development programmes helping you build the skills, understanding, and confidence necessary to take your organisation forward.
