Bespoke Services
Alongside our core projects and membership offer, RCAN provides a range of bespoke services. These are tailored to the specific needs of your organisation or community, offering flexible, professional support with no hidden costs. Whether you are a small volunteer-led group or a larger organisation, you can choose exactly the level of input you require – from light-touch advice to full project delivery.
We don’t use one size fits all model, we tailor quotes to the needs of your group or organisation. That way you only pay for what you need and the timescales can be flexible and at your pace. Over the years we have worked with parish councils, community groups, faith organisations, sports clubs, village halls, PTA's and schools along with private businesses - no organisation is too big or too small to access our support.
One-to-One Support
Personalised advice for management committees and community organisations on areas such as governance, compliance, and policy development. This may include attendance at meetings, training sessions, or individualised mentoring to help groups move forward with confidence.
Evidencing Need & Impact
Helping you gather the right data and evidence to show the importance of your project or facility. This is a vital step in securing funding, demonstrating value to stakeholders, and strengthening your case for long-term investment.
Consultations & Survey Design
Tailored consultation exercises at parish, village, or district level. We design and deliver surveys (digital and paper), focus groups, and public engagement events – capturing authentic community voices and presenting clear findings in robust feedback reports.
Thematic Reports & Insight Studies
Professional analysis of consultation data and community intelligence. We identify key themes, trends, and priorities, presenting them in accessible reports for funders, councils, and stakeholders.
Marketing & Publicity Support
Practical help to raise awareness of your facility or project, including branding advice, promotional materials, social media campaigns, and strategies to increase visibility and reach.
Increasing Footfall & Community Use
Hands-on support to diversify activities, attract more users, and ensure long-term sustainability of your hall or community facility.
