Salmon
Heaton & Kimmins Ltd has teamed up again with Pyramid ODI. On this occasion, we are offering to
facilitate a strategic event for a UK and Commonwealth registered charity
without charging our normal fee.
We will
offer one charity a facilitated two-day event and post-event report. If successfully selected, all you need to do
is agree a date before December 31st 2012, invite the participants
and provide the venue.
We know from our experience of running events for
charities in the USA and in Asia that this engaging process has a powerful and
immediate impact. Similar exercises normally
cost in excess of £5000 in fees alone.
We simply want to do something special to recognise
the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee and effectively give our two June “bank holidays” back
to the selected charity.
How will we chose the successful
charity?
We want to make this as administratively simple as
possible. It may not be very scientific,
but we plan to put the names of the first 10 charities to register their
interest by emailing their answer to the three simple questions listed below
into a hat.
We will meet with the charity whose name is the first
“out of the hat” and agree the details of the event. If, based on these discussions and for any
reason at all, the charity decides not to proceed with the event before October
31st 2012 then we will return to “the hat” for another name.
To register, please send to msalmon@shkltd.com your answers to three simple questions:
What makes your charity special?
What do you hope to gain or achieve from
this event and report?
What could affect the success of your
charity in the next three years?
The person sending the email must be a senior
officer of the charity or chair of the Trustee Board.
Please title your email “2012 Facilitated Event -
Strictly Confidential” and provide your charity’s registration and contact
details.
Why are we doing this?
The special four-day Bank Holiday weekend at the
beginning of June recognised the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee. We want to recognise
a wonderful lifetime of service and the commitment of her family to supporting
charitable causes. We want to give back our two day holiday, as our way of
saying “thank you”. We also know that
this event normally has immediate impact.
A little bit more on what the event
looks like to help you decide?
You invite a group of colleagues, trustees and key
external stakeholders to this two day event.
We provide the event facilitation and subsequent
report free of our normal fee.
You will need to provide and cover the cost of a
suitable venue.
We agree on the date and agenda. Typically, this
includes a dynamic process of assessing:
- The world as it impacts your charity today and into
the future.
- Your organisation’s strengths and how it needs to
address new challenges going forward.
- How you will re-energise and re-focus everyone on
the future success of your organisation.
We are donating the equivalent of our two Jubilee
Bank Holidays as long as the event is held before the end of the year and you
agree to pay any additional expenses.
We will
complete the process by presenting our summarised report to your senior
management and board of Trustees before the end of the year.
In Summary
We
believe that what we do can make a significant difference, so please pass this
on to the Chair of the Trustees Board or the CEO of your favourite
charity. They have nothing to lose and
everything to gain from getting their charity’s name “in the hat”. Remember, only a maximum of 10 names will go
into the hat.
We wish
you every success.
