2009 was a busy year for Achill Management with our consultancy team working on a wide variety of projects with over 26 clients from across the Third Sector. Our projects including developing a “Surviving the Recession” workshop which we ran in Berkshire and the Isle of Wight; supporting collaborative and consortium working with a range of clients including Citizen Advice Bureaux, CVS and Volunteer Centres, and supporting four organisations through a collaborative working process to a full merger.

In the second half of the year Achill Management consultants were kept busy working with voluntary and community organisations who had received Capacity Builders Modernisation Fund grants across Surrey, Kent, Buckinghamshire, Berkshire, Gloucestershire and London.

Currently we are working with a range of clients from the Elder Peoples Support Group in South London (an older people’s charity providing essential health and social care services to active elders) developing business planning and fundraising, to Voluntary Action Islington one of the largest of London CVS’s where the Achill team are supporting the Trustees and Senior Managers with development and business planning.

2010 promises to be another exciting year for us and Achill Management will be expanding its consultancy team further to cope with the increasing demand.
