Does this sound familiar?
You started your charity because of a vision you couldn't ignore. But nobody tells you how lonely it can be at the top, how much of your identity gets wrapped up in the organisation you've built, or how hard it is to know when (and how) to step back. Whether you're in the thick of it or starting to think about what comes next, you need people around you who truly get it.
Founder support
We've built an entire ecosystem of support specifically for charity founders, because we know from experience that the challenges you face are unique. From 1:1 coaching to peer community, from structured programmes to shared learning events, we meet you where you are and walk alongside you.
Founder Coaching
Personalised coaching for you and your organisation, working through the specific challenges that come with being a founder-leader.

Succession Planning

Community Support
An online Facebook group offering connection, peer support and a space to ask the questions you can't always ask inside your organisation.

Founder Circles
Small, intimate groups of founders meeting quarterly to work through a specific shared challenge together, honest conversation, collective wisdom. The Founder circles are hosted online and facilitated by Carla.

Founder Forum
A day-long gathering bringing like-minded founders together for training, shared learning and the kind of conversations that only happen when everyone in the room truly understands what it means to build something from nothing. Fully funded by the Benefact Group.
This support is for ALL charity founders at every stage. Whether you're still building, feeling the strain of founder-led growth, or beginning to think about what life beyond your organisation might look like. You don't have to be in crisis to benefit. Sometimes you just need the right people around you.
"It was great to see founder-friends again, made through the forum already, and to make some new ones during the day! I always take so much away from these events and really appreciate the opportunity"
