The people we support, supporting us

Thank you for your completely excellent work on the recruitment – we interviewed on Friday, the candidates were all excellent and I am delighted to say that the position has been filled, and we will be doing a second round of interviews this week for the other role. We are really so grateful for your input and very much hope to come back to you in the future.

At YMCA Worcestershire, we have been through a period of substantial change and development. As part of this we refreshed our vision, mission and values. We also did some solid work in creating a strategic framework with top line objectives. While we had done some preliminaries on further development of this into measurables, a challenge of capacity issues with a need for more operational focus was emerging. We were keen to get through this bottleneck because we knew the strategic planning and implementation would help to ease the operational challenges.

We were very grateful to get Workforce Planning support for this through consultancy work with Limelite HR who reviewed what we’d done so far, liaised with key staff members and helped us to harness this into a more complete and workable format. This is now enabling us to have a clearer road map in our efforts and a means by which to monitor progress and will, in this respect, enhance our impact for those we serve in our charitable and transformative work. We very much appreciated the timely help with this – thank you to Workforce Planning and Limelite HR!

Limelite HR & Learning recently supported me, our Trustees and our team at the Maternal Mental Health Alliance through a review of our terms and conditions. It was a great experience from start to finish. Their guidance was balanced and they really understood the nuance of our specific situation as a small charity. Relationships are at the heart of all they do and this is reflected in such a positive outcome. They are incredibly pro-active, write brilliant and succinct reports. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Firstly, thank you for turning the report around so quickly – much appreciated.

Secondly, and even more importantly, I wanted to say what an impressive piece of work it is. The skills is in interpreting the data you’ve gathered and presenting it in a meaningful way, and you’ve absolutely nailed it. Well done!
