Freelancers for charities

Charity Excellence and Blume Webinar on-demand: How small charities bloom with freelancers

Charity Excellence and Blume joined forces to deliver a webinar tailored to small charities. We explore how freelancers can be a game-changer for your organisation.


Freelancers are an increasingly important resource for small charities – and managing them effectively is therefore an increasingly important skill.

At their best, freelancers bring expertise, experience and capacity in a cost-effective way that improves performance and alleviates pressure on the people working in small charities.

At their worst freelancers can be overpaid, sap management time and end up not delivering what you need.

In this session, Ian McLintock, founder of Charity Excellence, and Alexander Stevenson, founder of Blume, will share their insights to help you get the best out of freelancers.
You’ll discover:
* When you should (and shouldn’t) hire a freelancer
* How to determine the right budget
* Tips for choosing the perfect freelancer
* What freelancers want from you (but may not say)
* Best practices for managing freelance relationships
