Alba works closely with clients to produce results that are practical and useful. We are experienced in helping third sector organisations to be resilient in the current economic downturn. This has involved assessing their needs and identifying what they can do to restructure, improve governance, develop robust business plans, reposition themselves, and collaborate or merge with other organisations. We are skilled in helping developing partnerships to address difference, establish trust, and build an effective alliance for sustainable future collaboration.

To share some of our learning, we have attached these downloads. If you would like to know more, please contact us.
