In January 2025, we held a Flash Consulting event with the brilliant team at Quantum Market Research. The session brought together 10 London-based Quantum staff – experts in branding, research, data, and market analysis – who volunteered their time and skills to support five London-based charitable organisations.
Over the course of the event, charities received tailored support across areas such as strategy, branding, planning, and impact reporting.
The volunteers brought a diverse mix of professional expertise, offering well-rounded, practical insights that directly addressed the challenges faced by the participating organisations.
Here’s what one charity participant had to say:
“My Quantum volunteers were incredibly professional as well as being warm and kind, understanding my capacity and giving me advice that was really tailored to me. They seemed genuinely interested and brought such expertise!”
A Quantum volunteer said of the event:
“Using our skills to help someone / an organisation which is driven by pure altruistic motivations was a joy.”
The results speak for themselves:
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.
