What is Flash Consulting? 

Flash Consulting is a short, high-impact event that pairs employees with charitable organisations for focused 1-to-1 advice sessions. Each volunteer is matched based on their skills and receives a tailored brief aligned with the charity’s needs, forming the basis of a fully facilitated session.
