Why we do what we do - Our research has uncovered a problem

Businesses often acknowledge the significance of collaborating with non-profits and communities to address social and environmental challenges. However, they often struggle with identifying suitable partners, lacking a cohesive strategy that resonates with stakeholders, meets business objectives and sustainability goals, and understanding local community needs and where they can best contribute.

On the other hand, non-profits seeking partnerships sometimes prioritise financial contributions over broader benefits and lack a long-term strategic approach to building relationships with businesses.

"Get Synergised" serves as a bridge to close this gap, fostering effective and sustainable collaborations while enhancing understanding between sectors. Our consultancy services aims to make partnerships easier and more enduring, maximising value and impact for all involved parties.

“Rachel is an absolute pleasure to work with, energetic with a genuine passion to make a difference in the community. She’s so engaging, an instigator and real driving force that not only cares about the community, but understands the commercial needs of a business and is able to have a balanced views of both. Rachel is a doer, if we had not have met I would still be talking about what I wanted to do rather than actually being more engaged.”
