Flash Consulting Event with Smart DCC

In April 2025, Link UP London partnered with Smart DCC, a leading telecommunications and energy infrastructure company, to offer a unique opportunity for small London charities who joined senior managers from Smart DCC for a free, tailored two-hour session designed to support organisations’ specific needs. From strategy, marketing, business planning to operations, organisation’s gained expert guidance to refine messaging, expand reach, and strengthen impact. 

Participants walked away with practical strategies, valuable insights, and renewed confidence.  

Here’s what one charity participant had to say: 

“So helpful to get a fresh, external perspective from experienced volunteers. I’ll be taking forward a lot of ideas from today’s event and have come away feeling energised and motivated!”  

A Smart DCC volunteer said the following:   

“Fabulous event which enables us to utilise our day-to-day skills in a meaningful and impactful way. What a room of engaged and motivated individuals means you can only walk away full of enthusiasm.”  

The results speak for themselves: 

• 100% of charities were very or highly satisfied with the event  

• 100% would recommend Flash Consulting to other organisations  

• 82% of volunteers felt a renewed value in their professional skills  

• 100% of volunteers would recommend this event to someone else  

What is Flash Consulting? 

‘Flash Consulting’ is a two-hour event that will partner you with a skilled volunteer with relevant professional expertise for your developmental needs. It is a 1:1, one-off ‘advice and guidance’ session aimed at addressing challenges your Social Good Organisation is currently facing. 

You will be matched with employee volunteers for the event. They will receive a specific brief based on your needs that you will work through together during the fully facilitated session.
