ProHelp Survey
ProHelp offers free professional support to the voluntary sector to address specific issues and Business Champions provides business mentors to advise voluntary groups and social enterprises over strategic matters.
Business in the Community (BITC), which manages the ProHelp programme in the East Midlands, is reviewing how it can best deliver ProHelp beyond June 2015, when current funding contracts come to an end.
It is also looking to get a clear understanding on what features of this service community organisations most appreciate and in what ways there may be opportunity for BITC to consider how best to develop these programmes to any changing circumstances.
To help inform this process we are seeking feedback from organisations that have received support from businesses (as well as those who have not accessed the service before), to gain invaluable feedback on what they appreciate and what impact it makes.
