What People Are Saying
“We receive hundreds of consultancy offers each week, but none have provided the balance of experience, insight, and practical support that Social Sector Consulting has. Their approach gave us the corporate lens we needed - tailored specifically to our business, our goals, and the people we support.
— Kirah, Managing Director
“Social Sector helped by assisting us to create clarity about our next steps. They then went above and beyond by helping us to create a clearer vision and mission statement.
What stood out was the dedication and care they showed. We didn’t feel like we were just a number, or just another organisation, we felt like they are genuinely invested in supporting us.
They helped us grow as an organisation, and helped us to embrace change and growth, rather than be scared of it.”
— Jordan, Managing Director
“Social Sector Consulting took time to understand our unique challenges and came up with novel ideas and hands on activities to help the whole leadership group move through some “stuck” thinking. They scaffolded the team through a planning process that led to a clear vision of where we were going and buy in from the whole leadership group.
