Connect Five Consulting Ltd

Connect Five Consulting Improving connections across sectors to create positive social impact We are a niche consultancy business that understands the world we operate in and can see the opportunities and mutual benefits that come from making better connections across sectors. We provide innovative and practical solutions that improve connections and collaboration. Between us we have worked in the corporate, charity and public sectors and we each have over 20 years’ experience of developing and managing cross sector partnerships. What sets us apart is our understanding of the role of business in cross sector partnerships and the business case for community engagement. And we have the awards to prove it! We have worked with both National Grid and Jaguar Land Rover to help them achieve Responsible Business of the Year recognition from BITC and achieving numerous other awards for projects and partnerships, including Third Sector, BITC Big Tick, Food and Drink Federation and HR Excellence Awards. Our approach is to develop bespoke solutions that meet the specific needs of our clients whether that be helping our corporate clients to develop a high impact, cost effective community investment strategy or engaging employee volunteering programmes; working with our charity partners from coaching on their corporate pitch to developing longer term business engagement strategy; or helping our public sector and brokerage clients to develop the high level plan as well as the practical tools and resources to maximise the impact from volunteering time and resources. We believe in doing the right thing and our fee structure reflects this. We offer reduced rates and pro bono support for our charity clients. We are happy to take on everything from one off projects to longer contracts, and our rates are adjusted accordingly, giving exceptional value for money.
