Sleeping Giant Provides...

We provide a range of services and support that strengthen the skills, abilities and confidence of people, community groups and organisations to take effective action and leading roles in the development of their communities.

Professional DEVELOPMENT & TRAINING

We have significant knowledge and experience which we share through our high-quality training, using a variety of different approaches designed to meet your needs. As part of this professional development offering, we can also offer external supervision and mentoring for staff and key volunteers.

PLANNING

Whether your organisation has just been set up, needs a ‘strategic refresh’ or needs help to plan an event, we can help you take some time out to plan for the future direction of your business, charity or project.

FUND-FINDING

We can support organisations to become funding ready, train you in how to make successful funding applications and provide direct fund- finding support either as a commission or as part of our no-win-no-fee service.

POLICY AND SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT

We have significant experience in developing a range of tools, systems, structures and policies for community-focused organisations, including volunteer systems, youth work processes and monitoring systems, as well as policies relating to young people, volunteering and equality.

CONSULTATION, ENGAGEMENT AND EVALUATION

We can deliver robust, creative, and engaging consultation review and evaluation activities designed to help you evidence your impact and to plan future work based on the needs of your stakeholders.

PROJECT SUPPORT

We run strategic projects, often in partnership with other organisations, and can advise you in delivery of a wide range of events, groups and projects which may focus on engaging with young people and others who may face barriers.

gOVERNANCE SUPPORT

Having a strong and diverse management committee or board which leads effectively is vital for the success of any group or organisation. We can help you review your existing governance structures and set-up, making any changes you require in line with best practice.

VOLUNTEERING AND PARTICIPATION

We support the principles of high-quality volunteering, participation, and community engagement, and can support you to build these principles into your own work.  We can also offer time-limited support for your organisation to deliver key aspects of your volunteer programme.
