We offer a design service to help you target potential sponsors of your project. These could be local employers with a personal connection to your work, or national organisations where their CSR strategy fits with the impact you are making.We produce highly visual pitch decks, professional graphically designed, capturing your mission and purpose, including KPIs and fully tailored to your organisation’s branding and image to help attract sponsorship and funding.Your pitch deck also comes with a strategic advice on how best to approach your potential supporters.These packs are available for £150.

Developing your volunteer strategy

Volunteers are often the life blood of any non-profit organisation, providing value support, and meaning that your limited cash resources can be used in the most cost-effective way.You can have many categories of volunteers, and understanding where someone fits into these categories is really important because it determines how you recruit, retain and motivate them to continue to support your cause.The important thing to remember is understanding their motivation for giving, and therefore this is key in helping you get the most from their generosity.

Who am I
Rob Whitwood, Founder
Be Inspired Today is in some respects a new venture for me, but comes from a foundation of 10 years of having been there and done that.

For 9 years I ran my own social enterprise helping aspirations of young people in East Anglia. We worked with over 6000 young people a year, raising £150,000 in grant funds, and mobilising a community of over 600 volunteers ranging from micro business owners, to representatives from some of the largest brands in the UK like Premier Inn, Balfour Beatty, Center Parcs, RAF, AVIVA and many more.

Over a 9-year period we won 19 awards for our community work Nationally, Regionally and Locally, and established ourselves as one of the leading Careers Education companies in our region.I took the decision to close the project at the end of the academic year 2019 for personal reasons, and over the last 12 months repurposed the social enterprise to support start up and newly establishing charities, social enterprises and community projects make a positive impacting their community.

In my other work I am a business consultancy and qualified accountant with over 20 years of working at a Senior level in Financial roles, and helping start-up businesses all over the world.I work with a collective of freelancers locally in Norfolk who support me in offering essential skills and expertise to our clients, who are both commercial and social causes.
