For Volunteers

Reddere, pronounced ‘Red-de-re’ is the Latin for “to give back”

I (Nick Adlam) help charity leaders tackle their biggest issues pro-bono, leveraging a network of experts to help

What is Reddere?

I help busy Charity leaders face into their biggest issues and i often need help from other experts

I work on c. 50 pro-bono charity projects each year and support charities tackling key issues around Strategy, Transformation, management, leadership, Marketing, Organisation and Fundraising. I also call on a network of experts with similar skills (but different mindsets) as well as experts in matters outside my experience including: Legal, finance, digital, tech, brand, HR, Impact & Bid writing.

How does Reddere work?

I package up your issue into a  1-2 day projects (spread over weeks) to get on top of your issue  in a sequence of steps

Not every charity needs all the steps, sometimes just Defining and Scoping is enough. For some charities needing more help a 4th step is available

Who are Reddere experts?

I call on a network of experts with diverse expertise to offer fresh perspectives as well as broadening capabilty

 I maintain a network of expert contacts from a range of experiences to offer multiple perspectives on issues, helping charity leaders make more informed decisions. Their collective expertise along with my own covers: Strategy, Transformation, management, leadership, Marketing, Org, Fundraising, Legal, finance, digital, tech, brand, HR, Impact & Bid writing.

 Their broad backgrounds cover:

How much work will Reddere offer me as an expert?

At present it is likely i might reach out 2-3 times a year based on how the last 12 months has gone

I see huge value in seeking a 2nd or even 3rd opinions on how to tackle/support a charity so it is very likely i will primarily engage to ask for 30 minutes of an Experts time on an issue

I am increasingly asked for support on areas i am less expert on and i therefore position an expert in the driving seat rather than myself to take the project forward

What does Reddere cost?

I ask experts for their time ONLY. I only charge charities an admin fee and i don't make any money

I and all the experts i work with work on a pro-bono basis for the initial 2 days of work

• We all agree to give up to 2 days pro-bono work on any project (worth thousands of pounds)

• We can extend engagements by mutual agreement on a continued pro-bono or paid basis (at discounted rates) as appropriate if needed

I operate on a very light cost base and only asks for a contribution to cover those costs:

• To cover operating & travel costs i charge £300, nothing else. I do have access to some funds i can use to lower the fee for smaller charities.

• A small contribution is key to commitment from a charity (having prepared and travelled to run workshops for charities that had been forgotten more than once)
