Free mentoring for charity leaders across Oxfordshire.
Our mentors help leaders to focus their thoughts, develop as individuals, and grow their charity.
“Mentoring enabled me to stand back and consider how best to achieve our ambitions. It was positive and assuring.”
The Value of Mentoring
Our mentors come from a wide range of backgrounds, with years of leadership experience. They are empathetic and understand the voluntary sector, and the many challenges faced by charities.
The mentor’s role is to encourage leaders to reflect and develop their own thinking, in a confidential and non-judgemental environment.
We repeatedly hear that mentoring boosts confidence, and leads to more effective relationships with trustees, colleagues, and volunteers.
Do you want to develop as a leader AND help your charity have a greater impact ?
Our mentors will help find the best ways to use your limited time, and consider the priorities for you, and your charity.
Oue bespoke mentoring offers an external perspective and confidential, reflective time. It gives charity leaders the space for much-needed strategic thinking and the exploration of options and ideas.
We know that charity leaders are busy people and time is precious. Working with a mentor happens over a 4-5 month period, with around 6 mentoring sessions in total, each lasting around an hour.
The benefits are tangible. They include more focused leadership; improved management, and delivery of services; more targeted fundraising; and the fine tuning of both strategic and business plans.
“This is an excellent opportunity to be mentored by some of the best and innovative minds in Oxfordshire. We were expertly matched to our mentor by a person who listened carefully to who we are and what we felt we needed.”
