Case study spotlight
Leadership & strategic direction: The Juno Project
The Juno Project was first referred to Cranfield Trust through a partnership with the Masonic Charitable Foundation, and the charity sought expert support to refine its three-year business strategy and create a clear, actionable plan for growth. The CEO, Sanchia Ryan, requested a Cranfield Trust volunteer to offer their commercial expertise to strengthen the organisation’s strategy and ensure long-term sustainability.
The Cranfield Trust project played a key role in Sanchia fostering stronger relationships with trustees and external partners, driving greater collaboration to advance the charity’s mission.
