What is Lifeboat?

Lifeboat offers you expert and confidential advice and support if you’re experiencing problems which could affect the short-term viability of your organisation.

Lifeboat is a very flexible service and has been developed through our experience of supporting Locality members in crisis. The support can include:

  • An in-depth analysis of your organisation’s problems including financial issues
  • Providing you with expert advice
  • Support to deal with disputes and conflict within your organisation
  • Proposing a strategy to help turn your situation around
  • Supporting you to implement that strategy

Access Lifeboat support

Essentials or Membership Plus members who’ve paid for membership for a minimum of 12 consecutive months can access Lifeboat support. We’ll respond within two working days, usually with a phone call, to understand the issues facing your organisation. During our phone call, we will discuss with you how we can help and agree a plan of action.
