Charity

Tripple Consulting believes that working with the charity sector is a great way to  help both the community and staff development. In addition to providing financial donations to charities such as UNICEF and the Red Cross, Tripple has dedicated time and resources  in order to help various charity and ‘not-for-profit’ organisations. Here are some examples of the work we have done:

Woodland Trust

In terms of our own Social Responsibility, Tripple tries to be ecologically friendly wherever possible. Each year we calculate our combined carbon footprint and offset this with a contribution to the Woodland Trust.

Charities Aid Foundation (CAF) is a charity with a unique purpose: to do all in its power to ensure that charitable giving to all charities is as robust and effective as it can possibly be. They raise the profile of giving; lobby for tax breaks and provide an increasingly broad suite of services to charities and their supporters.

  • The CAF has an area called Fund Raising Support which provides a “back office” service for Charities to smooth fundraising. Tripple Consulting’s role in this project was to provide six weeks of junior consultancy to help advise CAF on the best IT package to replace its IT platform and thus improve its IT support quality
  • Subsequent to the IT package having been chosen by the CAF, Tripple was asked to assist the project team in the Implementation stage of the project. A junior consultant was assigned over two months to produce Implementation Documents and in particular an Implementation Plan. Tripple was also vital in manufacturing agreement among key stakeholders regarding the Implementation approach and building confidence in the Plan.
