Founded in 2019, Third Sector Network sprang from a vision to fill a critical gap in the support services available to charities, non-profits, and social enterprises across the UK. We recognised that while the internet overflowed with content on marketing, social media, and growth strategies tailored for the commercial sector, there was a stark lack of guidance that addressed these topics from the unique perspective of charitable organisations. You don't need us to tell you, running a charity is not the same as running a business, so it stands to reason the support you need isn't either.
This realisation sparked the inception of Third Sector Network, a platform dedicated to equipping charities with the tools and knowledge to promote themselves, develop, and grow while staying true to their core mission and values.
We understand that the bulk of work charities do is admin, emailing, physical work and more day to day 'stuff'. This leaves painfully little time to focus on developing skills, building strategies or expanding your knowledge of how to best run a non-profit. What's more, many smaller charities are nowhere near having the financial resources to bring someone in to work on these.
That's where Third Sector Network come in. Our online workshops (most between 80-120 minutes) allow you to enhance your knowledge and understanding of how best to grow your charity without needing to attend training events or give up hours of your time. Our consultancy support is here to give any charity, of any size, access to non-profit expertise as and when you need it to help you get where you want to go as a cause.
The point is, we understand that running a charity is hard and we don't pretend to be the solution to all your problems and challenges. But we do claim to offer support that can make your charity's life easier and help you achieve your goals sooner.
Our workshops are all hosted by UK charity sector experts and are designed to broaden your understanding and improve skills in areas such as social media, volunteer recruitment, securing funding and governance. They are informal in tone but professional in outcomes. A simple 90 minute watch may transform your charity's future!
Our online workshops are available for immediate download and once you have done so, you can watch the workshop again and again with no time limits or restrictions on the number of viewings.
Virtually no other online professional training provider offers this!
Most charities do not have the resources to hire a full-time professional for marketing, volunteer recruitment or grants (etc.) This often leaves charities feeling under-resourced and lacking key skills.
The solution? Charity experts, available to you, from simply 1hr and more! You only pay for hours you use us and we (hopefully) leave you with the expertise and insights you need to proceed alone.
More and more smaller charities are turning to consultancy support like ours to fill gaps and find solutions.
