Fiona Halton, Chief Executive
Background
Pilotlight was set up to address the needs of small charities and social enterprises who have the expertise to support their beneficiaries but do not have, and could not afford to buy, the time and skills to develop their own infrastructure. In a survey of small charities, Pilotlight found that only four per cent said they received effective professional help. Pilotlight then surveyed leading business people and found various barriers, such as being time-poor, which prevented them from offering their professional help. Pilotlight then trialled several models of professional skills-giving and arrived at one that overcame those barriers.
The Webinar
During this webinar, Fiona will introduce Pilotlight’s unique model of mobilizing human capital, give case studies showing how this model was effectively applied and discuss how we can create metrics to assess the social impact delivered by these skilled volunteers.
