Pro bono services and free resources for charities
Proud to be have been supporting charities to thrive for more than 35 years.
Our year in numbers
Cranfield Trust is the UK’s leading provider of pro bono management support to the UK voluntary sector.
Our network of skilled and expert volunteers and our dedicated staff team help us to empower vital social welfare organisations with confidence, and the capabilities they need to thrive.
We are an independent charity and for over 35 years have been supporting UK-based charities and non-profit organisations. In turn, they support the most vulnerable people in our communities. We are extremely grateful to our donors, funders and partners who make it possible for us to work with smaller charities, a valuable national asset.

Charity story spotlight
Business and strategic planning: Alström Syndrome UK
When Alström Syndrome UK (ASUK) wanted to turn its big ambitions into a clear, achievable plan, Cranfield Trust was there to help.
Working together through workshops and strategic planning sessions, our volunteer consultant helped ASUK’s team and trustees refocus on what matters most; their mission and the people they support.
The results speak for themselves: stronger leadership, clearer direction, and a more connected team all working towards shared goals.
