CHARITY WORK
Dreams become visions...
Visions become reality... |
Brendan Conboy heads up the BM Consultancy. He is a visionary, think outside of the box, strategist. With over 30 years experience in the charity sector and in Youth Work and over 35 years in business (includes construction work prior to his move into charity), he has a wealth of experience and knowledge.
Chuck Swindoll said: Vision is essential for survival. It is spawned by faith, sustained by hope, sparked by imagination, and strengthened by enthusiasm. It is greater than sight, deeper than a dream, broader than an idea. Vision encompasses vast vistas outside the realm of the predictable, the safe, the expected. No wonder we perish without it.
Brendan is passionate about:
> maximising the impact of small charities and communities that they serve.
> empowering and therefore, creating advantage for those who are considered disadvantaged.
> raising profile through improved communication, image and marketing.
> increasing sustainable sources and all income streams.
> releasing potential.
Strong ethics and integrity are paramount to Brendan

Strong ethics and integrity are paramount to Brendan
The 'ABC of Charity Development'
also known as 'The Charity Trinity'. Brendan specialises in three main areas of charity support, these being: A. Income generation B. Communication C. Governance Brendan is very particular regarding the types of charity that he works with, they have to be small to medium in size. They have to make a noticable difference and be true to their objectives, as stated on the Charity Commission website and finally they must have a genuine need, which includes a need for a Consultant. These principles are a sign of Brendan's integrity and though they may limit the workload, they are an indicator that the support that your charity will receive will be of the utmost standard. |
A. Income generation
During his time at The Door Youth Project, Brendan grew the organisation from £6K per annum to £460K per annum. This growth steadily spread over a period of 18 years. In Brendan's final year 56% of the annual turnover was self generated and sustainable. The remaining 44% was generated mainly via bid writing and a small amount through events.
In 2014, the Institute of Fundraising stated that the average bid writer will see a return of investment of 9%. At that time, Brendan's return of investment was considerably higher at 16%. Since leaving The Door Brendan has achieved a massive 65% ROI for some of his clients. This is evidence that it really can pay to hire a consultant.
B. Communication
As a five times published author, a seasoned public speaker, a successful bid writer, a respected film producer and a qualified (level 5 Advanced Dip) expert in Digital Marketing; Brendan is considered an expert in all areas of communications. His skills were recognised as he was selected as a finalist for Communicator of the Year at the 2015, Stroud Life Business Awards.
Brendan is passionate about communication and believes that it is key to success. When communication is not right, then everything else will also be wrong. Whether it is written, verbal or non-verbal communication, it is an area that needs investment in order to achieve success.
Brendan is available to assist in the communications of charities, businesses and individuals. You may need regular press releases or newsletters written and distributed? Maybe you need someone to make the most of your digital marketing and social networking? Perhaps you need some guidance or coaching to be able to improve yourself? Whatever your communication needs, let's chat and see how we can work together.
C. Governance
Any charity or business will always naturally, focus primarily, on income generation. Communication will play its part in generating income, but unless governance is also taken into consideration, the income of a charity will not be maximised.

Is it time that your charity had an INDEPENDENT HEALTH CHECK?
Brendan will bring his 30 plus years of knowledge and experience to assist you in this. The process involves meeting with a key person(s) to answer a series of questions. A full report will then be produced to guide you towards improving this key area. Stop putting this off, it's too important and has been one of the main reasons why some charities have been brought to closure.
