STandTall Project
Building a business plan
Project:
Help StandTall produce a properly budgeted business plan as it prepares for significant changes to its funding model. This may also require some work on strategy and on output/outcome measurement.
Help StandTall produce a properly budgeted business plan as it prepares for significant changes to its funding model. This may also require some work on strategy and on output/outcome measurement.
Project description:
STandTall has been operating for two years, with a single source of funding that helped it get started. This funding is due to end, and the charity plans to grow its activities based on grants, contracts and other sources of funding. The team has a list of activities planned for 2019, based on three strands of work they have successfully undertaken in their first years of operation.
The volunteer is asked to help the trustees and project manager to construct a business plan. Their main aim is to have a set of activities and a budget representing the plan for the year. To ensure that this is robust and sustainable, the volunteer may need to cover the whole process from strategy to output/outcome measurement, possibly also touching on issues such as the ‘market’ for each of the activities, objectives, target outputs and outcomes, the budget and the sources of income, details of the steps to be taken for each strand of work, risk identification and mitigation, and performance measurement. It might also be appropriate to consider how this fits into longer-term strategy, and the rationale for the activities perhaps using a Theory of Change perspective.
The volunteer should have experience of strategy/business plan development, and either have experience of working with small organisations, or be able to adapt to small organisation needs. Their main role will be to ask questions, put a structure in place, and provide a reality-check, in order to convert the project manager and trustees’ ideas, plans and knowledge into a viable plan
Time commitment: 3 -5 days
Location: There is likely to be the need for one or two meetings or workshops with trustees. The location of these meetings would be Central London – Google Campus or other office location convenient to volunteer. The remainder of the work can be completed remotely, using Skype for communication as necessary.
