NEED A CHAT?

You don’t have to figure everything out alone.

Running a charity or church project can feel overwhelming — funding questions, governance tasks, mission planning, policies, volunteers, ideas that won’t quite take shape.
Sometimes you just need someone to sit with you, listen, and help you untangle it all.

That’s what this page is for.

If you need a sounding board, a bit of clarity, or someone who understands the pressures small charities face, Charity Egg is here to help.

What we can chat about

A Need a Chat session can cover anything you’re wrestling with, including:

  • Funding or grant questions

  • Where to start with an idea or project

  • Governance or policy worries

  • Feasibility and planning

  • Mission-shaped development

  • Understanding what’s realistic

  • Budget thoughts or practical concerns

  • “Is this even possible?” conversations

  • Exploring the 1% grant model

  • Or simply: “I don’t know what I need, but I need to talk.”

No judgement.
No jargon.
Just honest guidance and a clear next step.

  • A no-pressure conversation to help you work out what you actually need.
    Perfect if you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to start.

    Good for:

    • “I don’t know what I need yet.”

    • “I have a question, but it feels small.”

    • Understanding whether the 1% grant model or templates are right for you.

    Price: Free
    Length: 30 minutes
    Format: Zoom or phone
    Outcome: Clear next step + signposting to the right support.

  • This is the sweet spot:

    • Low enough for small charities

    • High enough to value your time and expertise

    • Comparable to £40–£50/hr once time spent writing notes is included

    You can also offer a charity discount quietly if needed.

  • Price: £165
    Includes:

    • 3 × 90-minute sessions

    • Email support between sessions

    • Templates/toolkits where appropriate

    • A clear plan by the end

    This gives a £30 saving compared to booking three single sessions (£195), which encourages people to commit to the package.

    It works out at £55 per session, which is a great balance:
    affordable for them, sustainable for you.

  • For clients who need a quick check-in after any of the packages.
