Consultancy
If you need a consultant to work on a specific priority area such as a business plan for your organisation, VAC is available to provide this service and will work with your organisation on a consultancy basis. The first hour of consultancy will be free to organisations and this work will be to prepare an assessment of your needs with a proposal. Thereafter an hourly rate of £45 will be charged for the consultancy work to be carried out. This rate is for our voluntary and community organisations members only. For statutory bodies and Housing Associations, other fees will apply.
If you need more information on consultancy services provided by VAC, please go to our consultancy page.
