Our special resource is the diverse experience of our associates. The Pool draws on experience from many different organisations, particularly Locality members but also from the wider movement. All our associates are practitioner consultants who use their own knowledge of frontline service delivery to ensure that their work is carried out to the highest professional standards. Our consultants have been working with businesses, charities, local and national Government and social enterprises for many years and have assisted a number of organisations with financial sustainability, local enterprise and asset-based development.
