Charity Mentors was formed in 2013 by Marion Stevenson, who became the inaugural chair of Charity Mentors. Marion was working with a charity that ran into trouble and faced imminent closure.
She was fortunate enough to turn to Robert Kirtland, now Senior Partner at Critchleys Accountants in Oxford, who helped her to explore all the options. This led to developing a solution that meant that the charity survived. It was from this experience that the idea for Charity Mentors was formed.

“It was really helpful to step back and get independent support to reflect and plan. My mentor used his mentoring skills to help bring clarity to my thinking and his previous experience of being a CEO as well as chair of trustees was very helpful. ”
