The Cranfield Trust
Consultancy to charities involved in addressing issues of poverty
The Cranfield Trust offers free consultancy projects to charities involved in addressing issues of poverty, disability or social exclusion. It uses a register of over 550 volunteers from the commercial sector who give their time to act as free consultants. The Trust works with small to medium sized charities which otherwise would not be able to afford external support, and helps them with problems in a wide range of management areas, typically:
Business or strategic planning
Marketing advice or marketing planning
Human resources issues
Financial management or planning
IT reviews and strategies
Projects can be anything from a half day to fifteen days, with the longer projects spread over a few months. The Cranfield Trust also runs a free internet-based advice service, HRNet, specifically for shorter Human Resources problems and questions.
Two scholarships are offered every year on the Executive (Part Time) MBA (Masters in Business Administration) programme at Cranfield School of Management. The MBA programme is a two year programme and a new course starts in January each year. Applications must be received by the previous November.
