How the health check works

8 areas and 30 questions is all we need to assess your organisation’s health

1

Strategy

Does your plan actually guide your decisions, or sit in a drawer?

2

Governance

Is your board adding direction, or mostly processing paperwork?

3

Funding

Could one funder pulling out sink you tomorrow?

4

People

Is the workload sustainable, or held up by heroics?

5

Service delivery

Does quality depend on systems, or on one irreplaceable person?

6

Impact

Can you show funders what changed, not just what you did?

7

Systems

Do your tools and processes help you, or fight you?

8

Risk

Would an audit be routine, or a scramble?

Growth arrives as pressure

Organisations grow in stages. The move from one stage to the next tends to arrive as pressure. The systems that carried you this far begin to strain because you have outgrown them. That strain is a threshold to cross, and a sign you are ready for what comes next. The health check shows you where that strain is building across the eight areas, so you know what to strengthen first.

Do you know where the pressure is building?

Healthy organisations do more good

This is about the people you serve. When your organisation is healthy, your community feels it.

For the people you serve

Steadier services that hold up when families need them, carried by the whole organisation rather than a few exhausted people.

For your team

Clear roles, sustainable workloads and systems that carry the weight, so good people stay, and stay well.

For your funders and community

Evidence of what is changing, from an organisation your community can rely on for the long haul.

Who is behind this

I have sat in the chair

The passion is real. So is the pressure.

People come into this sector because they care. That care is the whole point — but on its own it cannot hold an organisation up. Sooner or later, good intentions need infrastructure underneath them.

I have spent a decade managing and leading in the not-for-profit sector, so I understand the responsibility you and your team carry, whether you lead the organisation day to day or govern it from the board: rising demand, tightening funding, a growing compliance pile, and the weight of being the person everyone looks to. I have stood at those thresholds myself — the points where the old way of working stops fitting and something has to change — and I have helped other organisations cross them, so the services stay steady and the people holding them up do not have to carry it alone.

I built this health check because it is the diagnostic I wish someone had handed me. The questions are the ones that actually predict whether an organisation thrives or burns out its people, and your answers stay between us.
