Testimonials

Our organisation benefited significantly from Amanda’s two day workshop on procurement and working in a consortium. The style was very appropriate and the learning was considerable, we were left with an action plan which will ensure we move forward as an organisation

Andrew Wilson – Workforce Development Manager – Mental Health Charity

Achill Management demonstrated detailed knowledge of the Voluntary Sector and of the challenges it faces. In the development session with our board and management we explored not only the opportunities and obstacles that face us but were challenged and encouraged to find our own solutions… a very worthwhile exercise” Chair Guildford CAB

‘In 2007 Amanda Carpenter of Achill Management worked with Young Suffolk as part of a Charities Aid Foundation sponsored partnership project that developed the capacity of four small youth organisations to work collaboratively. Amanda worked in the most skilled and sensitive way to facilitate a partnership that is still delivering today.’
