The Transformation Alliance, Summer 2024

The Transformation Alliance continues its work to improve Medway and Swale’s Voluntary and Charity sector, improving its access to support and make it more resilient.

What is the Transformation Alliance?
The Transformation Alliance is designed to provide low cost, high quality backroom services (e.g. IT, HR, Payroll) delivered by the sector for the sector. It has now expanded to include any frontline services that can be provided to the Transformation Alliance pot.

Ultimately, giving you access to cheaper services, meaning more money can be directed to deliver the frontline services of your organisation.

The Transformation Alliance could also gain your organisation additional income revenue by offering a service to Voluntary, Community, Social Enterprise and Faith (VCSEF) organisations. This would keep funding within the sector, not in the hands of the private sector.

Offers Currently Available to the Alliance

• Graphic Design Service provided by Mutual Aid Road Reps (MARR)

• IT Services provided by S-Guard
• Payroll Services provided by Compaid

How much money could you earn by offering a service?

We also know that more income has been earned since then.
