New Pro Bono OR Project: Against All Odds Still Standing (AOS) UK

Against All Odds Still Standing (AOS) UK Project

Planning for the future

Project:

Helping AOS UK consider their future strategy

Project description:

AOS UK currently operates on a very small scale, and would like to scale up. Doing so requires consideration of a number of features, including: the quality of the overall management, and what sort of basic organisational design and skills are required, for both management and service delivery; how AOS UK complements or competes with similar local services; how to manage the scaling up of inputs and outputs so that they stay in step with each other; and how to establish data collection for both operational management and evaluation purposes.

This project is to provide a day or so of facilitation support to AOS UK to help them identify what features need to be included in a strategy, and what the next steps may be. There may be follow-on work required, but it may be that the scope and scale of future work goes beyond the remit of Pro Bono OR.

The volunteer should have a broad understanding of organisational design and strategy development, especially in the charity arena, and have facilitation skills. They should also make themselves aware of the special features of domestic violence services

Time commitment:  3 days 

Location: Most of the work can be carried out remotely. The volunteer would need one day on site at their office in South East London.

Information about the organisation: 

Against All Odds Still Standing (AOS) has been working to support safeguarding and protection of Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) women and children in recent years. AOS actively seeks to end abuse and violence against women and children. The organisation’s objectives are to support and provide relief for victims, survivors and people who are vulnerable to domestic violence, abuse and discrimination in UK communities and abroad. Many survivors are orphans and widows, as evident in AOS’s outreach work in Malawi, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Sri Lanka and in other developing countries.
