Transforming the Kingsgrove Community Hub with Wild Grace Associates

Overcoming Initial Challenges

Kingsgrove Community Hub, a new charity located in Oxfordshire, faced many challenges. They are currently in the early stages of development with plans to open a physical community hub by late 2026. With a limited administrative capacity and operations led by volunteers, the Hub required flexible support. They needed assistance for the Chair of Trustees and the core leadership team.

The primary challenges included organizing meetings, managing governance processes, and establishing foundational policies and procedures. Without professional support, these essential tasks could become overwhelming for a small team working with limited resources.

Client Testimonial

“Working with Wild Grace has been one of the best decisions we have made. As a small charity run by volunteers but with plenty to do, we just don’t have the time to manage all our administration. However, Wild Grace Associates is not just a company to whom we ‘offload’ our admin; Sophie has become one of our team. She has spent time getting to know us, who we are and what we want to achieve, and makes sure that her work isn’t only efficient but also matches our ethos and values. This means that she can work intuitively for us; everything gets done well and she is able to make really helpful suggestions.

The specific role we have for Wild Grace Associates is to minute all our meetings, file all our reports, and organise our policies. All of these are key services. They have also worked tirelessly to raise our media presence on many platforms, meaning our online presence is impactful and live. But, in reality, their service goes beyond that to help us build a brilliant organisation.

I recommend Wild Grace Associates without hesitation.”
