Judith Courts B.A. Hons, PGCE, MIoEE, Dip. Man.
History
I have always worked in and with the UK not for profit sector. My commitment to and belief in the power of people to make change for themselves comes from my experiences in the 1980s as a trustee of a city farm, director of a women’s centre and extensive work as a front line debt advisor.
I am an approved NCVO consultant, a qualified teacher, SFEDI enterprise mentor, member of the Institute for Learning and the Institute of Enterprise and Entrepreneurship and an approved 'Big Assist' Supplier. My early management career included holding posts with Citizens Advice and the Community Fund (Big Lottery Fund). I’ve been directly working with not for profit organisations to help them achieve their goals since 2000.
My Clients
My clients are all not for profit organisations and include household names such as Age UK and Citizens Advice, a wide range of regional and local charities and community groups, regional infrastructure organisations, local authorities, health care trusts, universities and increasingly, social enterprises. Most of my local work is based in Yorkshire and the Midlands.
My Work
I help organisations to identify and achieve their goals through activities such as research into needs, business viability, strategic and financial planning, change management, facilitation, management and leadership training, enterprise mentoring, project management and evaluation.
