“It’s an understatement to say we were lucky when Catherine started working with Blue Patch”
Jane Langley - Founder and CEO, Blue Patch
“ Volunteers from the corporate world can be a massive help to charities but sometimes the benefits get lost in translation. The ideal outcome is to work together in a way that brings reassurance, to be open to learning from each other. To do this corporate volunteers need help to understand what makes a charity tick. Good preparation means corporate volunteers will have a far greater positive impact on the charitable mission.
It's an understatement to say we were lucky when Catherine started working with Blue Patch. She introduced clear guidance and parameters enabling us to build constructive communications between team and corporate volunteers and together we have made transformative progress - thank you Catherine.”

Catherine brings clarity, professionalism and genuine empathy, making her a trusted partner for any organisation seeking to unlock the full potential of collaboration between business and charity.
