Introduction
Pro Touch SA CIC is a national awarding sporting academy organisation. They deliver community sports and football programmes in over 15 London boroughs, to children and young people aged 4-25 years old.
Ash, CEO, describes how his work with Peninsula helps him to secure essential funding…
The situation
As a non-profit, the sports academy relies on grants and funding from local authorities and charities.
Without this essential funding, Pro Touch SA CIC would struggle to sustain itself, and deliver the positive impact it does. So for Ash, it’s crucial that he secures every grant or funding opportunity he can.
Before offering funding, local authorities often request to see certain policies – like anti-slavery statements, or an equal opportunities policy.
Local authorities and charities want to see these policies for reassurance they are investing in a safe and fair organisation.
Plus, before inviting Pro Touch SA CIC to carry out sessions at schools, headteachers want to see robust safety processes.
We often need to show certain credentials to be considered for funding. We’re a small organisation, so we’re not in a position to have a full-time HR person, or a Health & Safety expert. So, it’s valuable to know Peninsula is just a phone call away to get support with our policies, procedures, and practices
- Ash / CEO at Pro Touch SA CIC
What happened next
Now, when a local authority or charities asks to see official workplace procedures, Ash has a full suite of expert documents to refer to.
And if the authority asks for a document Ash doesn’t have, he can request new HR policies from Peninsula. Within around 45 minutes of calling Peninsula, Ash receives a dedicated policy – created by an employment law consultant.
Every policy is crafted around Ash’s organisation. So, unlike the generic online HR templates Ash previously used, he can show how he manages the issues that are specific to his staff and the industry they work in.
Plus, if Ash or any of he’s staff team is arranging a session at a nearby school, the team can contact Peninsula’s Health & Safety consultants to create a dedicated risk assessment for the visit.
Sharing these policies helps Pro Touch SA CIC prove that they are safe, credible, and worthy of investment.
This means that it’s easier to access funding and carry out activities within the community. With the trust of local schools and authorities behind them, Pro Touch SA CIC can continue to do what they do best.
It also gives Ash confidence that he is a fair and compliant employer – without worrying about breaching any HR or Health & Safety regulations.
As an organisation, we are no longer in fear...
... about whether our policies and procedures meet HR regulations, we don't worry about that. We no longer have sleepless nights
- Ash / CEO at Pro Touch SA CIC
Freeing up more time to serve the community
Previously, Ash would pull together HR and Health & Safety documentation himself.
This was time-consuming, and left Ash concerned that he wasn’t meeting essential regulations.
Now, he doesn’t need to worry about piecing together legal documents and procedures. It frees up his time to focus on the future of his organisation.
Ultimately, Peninsula’s support means Ash can focus on what he set out to do – enrich his community and create opportunities for young people.
Peninsula allows us to focus...
... on our core purpose. To bring in services like Peninsula helps you focus on what you do best, which in the charity environment, is serving the community
