Empowering changemakers to build stronger communities.

Small charities and social enterprises do extraordinary work, often under pressure and with limited capacity. Cahoot CIC provides calm, practical consultancy that helps you navigate funding, planning, leadership, and communication with greater clarity and less overwhelm. We work alongside you, not above you, sharing knowledge openly and shaping support that feels genuinely manageable.


Every organisation we work with brings its own strengths, challenges, and lived realities. Our job is to understand what matters to you and shape support that feels manageable and genuinely useful. Whether you are applying for funding, strengthening your leadership, improving communication, or building long term resilience, we are here to help you feel clearer, more confident, and better equipped for whatever comes next.
