Eastside People

Eastside People is a community of experienced professionals from diverse industries and backgrounds focused on helping social sector leaders to build the capacity and impact of their organisations. For two decades we have sought out highly skilled individuals who are passionate about using their skills and knowledge to bring about social change. Through our consultancy and recruitment services we deploy these people as consultants, interims, mentors, senior executives and board members, giving social sector organisations access to the very best senior level capacity. We invest in our people supporting them to be the best informed, to develop their practice, and to share know-how and resources. We care passionately about results and what gets implemented in the real world recognising that the difference we make is the change that sticks. We therefore draw on our own experiences and lessons from over 2,200 consulting and recruitment projects, so that our clients gain access to better insights about how to make organisational change sustainable. We are recognised as one of the top social enterprises in the country featuring in the Natwest SE100 Index and have a Foundation which provides an alignment of purpose with the clients we serve. We are proud to contribute to the ecology of social sector infrastructure being a corporate partner to ACEVO, a member of Social Enterprise UK, a capacity building provider for various Foundations such as Power to Change and Lloyds Bank Foundation, and certified as a Good Finance adviser.
