Third sector organisations play an essential role in sustainable development by combining reuse, recycling and resource efficiency with social benefits such as inclusion and skills development.
We appreciate that for many voluntary and community sector organisations and social enterprises there are challenges associated with developing a sustainable business model and accessing contracts. We understand how third sector organisations vary from those in the public and private sectors and we know how to enable you to maximise your potential.
Our team has first hand experience of the broad range of barriers and opportunities which confront third sector organisations including: issues associated with governance and structure, capacity building, business and marketing planning, the implementation of policies and procedures and the winning of contracts. Many of us have worked in social enterprises and the voluntary sector and we understand the issues from your perspective. We have established partnerships with other third sector organisations and individuals to enable us to deliver support in areas where we don’t have direct expertise, providing you with joined-up services through one easy to manage relationship.
We have a strong track record of successful projects with clients who provide reuse services for furniture, WEEE and white goods. We have helped to build business models, raise profiles, establish training facilities, scope retail outlets for the local community and access funding.

The help and support that LRS Consultancy and their project partners have given both me and the Trustees provided greater clarity of our vision, mission and direction so that we feel confident in the sustainable future for the organisation. I have personally recommended that other organisations like TRUP try to engage similar support to help them develop their own operations.
