TESTIMONIALS

We were recommended to ask Charlie for help when we felt overwhelmed about changing our unincorporated charity over to a CIO. As a charity run by and for people with learning disabilities we needed someone who would work with us to simplify information, help us understand areas which would be within our control so that we made sensible decisions which would stand the test of time. 

Ollie says “Charlie did well explaining stuff to us even when it was complicated. He didn’t use gobbledegook, he took time and made the words simpler for us to understand. He ‘got’ what we are trying to do at our charity and helped us work out the rules we need. I would tell other userled charities to work with  Charlie as he is easy to work with and an understanding person”.

Jo says “as the person tasked with trying to ensure we understood information, and that Board members with and without learning disabilities were involved, properly briefed and making informed decisions – Charlie’s help and reassurance were invaluable. At times the prospect of a legal transfer seemed overwhelming and daunting but knowing Charlie was there for me to check-in with made it feel achievable. Board meetings were punctuated with ‘Charlie says…’ for over a year and the number of queries which Charlie responded to with encouragement and realistic, solid advice support means we are now fully transferred over and enjoying the benefits of operating within a safer legal structure.”
