Third Sector
Third Sector
Opus works with organisations in the third sector, supporting a range of not-for-profit organisations with different structures and purposes. This vital sector provides a bedrock of services and support initiatives, education and tuition and research and analysis.
As value driven non-profits, a primary driver for third sector organisations when approaching restructuring or turnaround projects is to maintain their focus and output with minimum disruption, especially to end users. For this reason, we will always work closely with boards, trustees and staff to fully understand the aims and objectives in order to facilitate your organisation’s future and assist in any financial, legal and governance obligations.
Supporting the Third Sector
We recognise that the financial and operational needs of third sector organisations are incredibly diverse, while also requiring specific knowledge and expertise when intervention is required. Third sector organisations that we work with:
- Registered charities
- Voluntary and community organisations
- Educational establishments
- Social enterprises and co-operatives
- Private research institutes
- Arms Length Bodies, agencies, and public corporations such as Local Authorities
