Become a Charity or Social Enterprise Partner

Do you need help getting to the next step in your journey?

Since 2003 we have helped over 700 charities and social enterprises to go from good to great, become more resilient and deliver more effective and efficient services, transforming lives of the disadvantaged people they serve.

The impact of the Pilotlight project spans the whole organisation as our way of thinking has totally shifted.

Dr Crystal Oldman CEO, The Queen's Nursing Institute, Partner Charity

The Pilotlight Programme was invaluable for me as a leader. Not only do I now have a five-year business plan, a new mission, social objectives, business objectives and narrative, I'm more confident in my role.

Simone Spray Chief Executive, 42nd Street, Partner Charity

You have nothing to lose and everything to gain, and your charity will definitely be in a better place from when you started.

Selecting a Charity or Social Enterprise Partner

We work with ambitious, UK-based organisations that want to look forward and develop themselves but don’t have the resources to get there alone.

How We Are Funded

Our members pay an annual membership donation to take part, which allows us to offer our programmes free to charities and social enterprises. There are two types of members, those who make a personal donation to us and those who are sponsored by their employer. The donation not only supports the charity projects Pilotlighters are placed on, but also contributes towards our project work across the UK. We aim to meet 80% of our operating costs through our members, with 20% coming from Trusts and Foundations.
