The Covid-19 pandemic has posed significant challenges for charities. CHAT – a charity working to provide better homes and security for those most in need in our society – had to adapt quickly to new working patterns and the huge need for its services as a result of the pandemic.
“A year on from the start of the pandemic, we were frankly pretty exhausted and started to ask ourselves what the future might look like for us. We did not want to go back to how things were before Covid,” explains Simon Friend, Chair of CHAT.
The charity needed help in this process. “We knew we had to find space and time to reflect but we had no idea quite how to go about it. Even trying to work out how we could do this seemed very tiring!”
Simon has known Robert Camp for over 20 years as a friend and professional adviser. He reached out to Robert for help.
“Right from the off, Robert was enthusiastic and knew what would help us and facilitated a great strategy planning day for our executive trustee team, CEO and fundraiser. The day was excellent and although many of us had done SWOT analysis and the like before, Robert was always fresh, fast paced and kept us focused. So many helpful, positive and new things came out of our discussions,” Simon adds.

“Robert’s support was exactly what we needed. I now feel we have a framework to develop our strategy for the next few years with the whole trustee board and staff.”
