Over 150 talented individuals have contributed their professional skills to Impetus and our portfolio charities and social enterprises to help build their capacity. These 'pro bono experts' regularly comment on how fulfilling they find working with us as they are able to use their professional skills for maximum social impact.
Rather than just contributing our time, the Impetus approach
enables you to use the very skills you have built up in your
professional life, to transform the social impact of an Impetus
charity or social enterprise.
You can be confident of the long-term impact of your work with
the charity or social enterprise. All projects undertaken by
Impetus pro bono experts form an integral part of the overall
capacity-building plan. The work you do will help the whole
organisation, not just an isolated project.
Impetus projects can be very beneficial for your career development, as they allow you to use your skills in a new context. Ditlev Schwanenflugel, Eden McCallum consultant and Impetus pro bono expert, recently commented that out of the about 47 commercial projects and five charity projects he had done in his career, the charity projects were "in my top six on satisfaction and learning".

How to become an Impetus pro bono expert
If you have relevant experience, and the desire to work
collaboratively with an Impetus charity, please apply. Our application process
involves meeting each potential pro bono expert to ensure he/she
has the appropriate skills and approach for our charities. As
projects are designed specifically for each charity, there may be a
delay between meeting with you and assigning a project.
People often have a negative concept of what management consultants do - so it was lovely to be told [by the Impetus charity]: "I wasn't expecting you to be so helpful!"
