We have worked with Hugh Thompson of CSR Host Consulting since 2012. Hugh has acted as a Consultant & Project Manager for our Heritage Lottery Fund grant application for Listed Places of Worship and delivery of our Community Engagement Programme. Hugh was the catalyst for our success in the first phase and as such, was retained for the second phase which has been equally successful. Hugh’s advice and input has helped our organisation in achieving our aims and objectives and helped deliver social value that has had a positive impact in the local community which will be remembered for many, many years.

Hugh has extensive knowledge, as well as connections, within the social finance field and is able to quickly identify solutions that will work for a range of VCSE organizations. CSR Host are very easy to work with and bring a strategic focus to their work, as well as great attention to detail. Hugh and I have worked together to deliver workshops and support around funding and finance for social enterprises, as well as delivering several pieces of consultancy (with either a strategic focus or impact measurement focus). Hugh's methodical approach, alongside his attention to detail, is perfect for collecting and analyzing impact data, as well as for producing high-quality reports.
