Story
Cranfield Trust is the charity that welfare charities come to for management advice, training and support.
We are celebrating 35 years of empowering charities with the confidence and capabilities to thrive. We're immensely proud that Cranfield Trust has been providing critical support to thousands of frontline welfare charities over the last 35 years - through our pro bono management consultancy, mentoring and training.
During this time, we have developed the Trust to an incredible scale.
Since first becoming a registered charity, the Trust has provided consultancy and mentoring to just under 3,000 human welfare charities and registered community groups through 6,000 assignments and projects.
And today, thanks to our national register of 1400+ volunteers working throughout the UK, we support thousands of charities and welfare organisations through our services every year, delivering consultancy, mentoring, telephone advice, training, peer support and free resources.
“Support from Cranfield Trust has been transformative... We are incredibly grateful.”
We're marking our 35th anniversary at a difficult time for the sector with frontline social welfare organisations under greater pressure than ever before. These challenges make us more determined than ever to continue supporting organisations and individual charity leaders so they can provide their vital services.
“Amazing organisation and team with a thorough understanding of the small charity sector. Their help, support and attention to detail has been immeasurable.”
You can help us continue our story by raising vital funds so we can continue delivering consultancy and mentoring for charities and charity leaders and enabling us to invest in new learning opportunities for our sector: to create strong, robust and resilient charity managers and leaders to support our communities through these challenging times.
