UnScripted Talks about How to Keep Nonprofits, Sustainable, Resiliant & Relevant

From food banks to housing associations to national care providers and dementia cafes, nonprofits come in all shapes and sizes. In Making a Lasting Difference, Graeme Reekie explores the challenges facing the nonprofit sector and identifies the capabilities every nonprofit needs in order to ensure it can fulfil its mission and purpose. He addresses one of the most common challenges for nonprofits - saying ‘yes’ too often. Although this is often done for the best purposes, it can often end in undermining the health of the nonprofit as their mission becomes diluted and their resources exhausted.

Making a Lasting Difference provides clear guidance and practical tools to help every non-profit organisation assess and understand their strengths and challenges, through ensuring they have strategies around each of the five essential capabilities, which we will discuss.
