Dave initially registered with Pro Bono O.R. and was then put in touch with one of the Pro Bono O.R. scoping committee. They discussed the requirements in more depth and outlined a scoping document that was then sent to the Pro Bono O.R. volunteers. There was a very tight deadline for the support Age UK Dacorum required and as such we knew it was going to be difficult to find a suitable volunteer. However to everyone's delight a suitable volunteer was found and Dave and Ken started work immediately.
Initially Ken worked with senior managers to:
(i) help [identify] select and firm up on one or two key organisational or business developments expected to improve sustainability, by:
- working with them to identify barriers to sustainability and options for change
- reviewing the logic, rationale and evidence for change proposals; identifying gaps, risks and issues; and concluding which is/are the most feasible, and fit in best with LSF objectives and likely funding level
After months of waiting Age UK Dacorum were informed this week that their application was successful and they will be awarded £65,000. We are all delighted with this news as this grant will have an enormous impact.
Now Ken plans to work with Age UK Dacorum as an external advisor to provide support and challenge through the implementation stages of the plan.
