Charity Strategy Away Days & Facilitation

A well-prepared away day helps trustees and senior teams explore the right questions, hear different perspectives and reach clear decisions. The preparation matters as much as the day itself.

When this helps

  • Your board and leadership team need time to think strategically together.
  • You need an independent facilitator to guide a focused discussion.
  • An upcoming decision needs shared understanding and clear next steps.

How I work with you

We agree the purpose, decisions needed and participants before designing the session. I prepare the agenda and activities, facilitate the discussion and provide the written outputs we have agreed within the time allocation.

Options & typical fees

Commission the support you need. We agree the scope, deliverables and fee before work begins.

Strategy away day and facilitated planning

£1,000–£1,500

A focused, prepared session for a board or leadership team.

  • Scoping and agenda development
  • One preparation day and one delivery day as a minimum
  • Agreed decision record, written outputs or follow-up within the allocation

Timescale & next steps

Usually two to three consultancy days in total, covering preparation, delivery and agreed follow-up.

Tell me what you need, your timetable and any budget you are working within. I’ll confirm availability and propose a clear scope and fee.

A full organisational strategy is a separate assignment. Additional preparation or follow-up is agreed at £500 per day; venue and travel costs are agreed separately.
