Operations support for charities: four pillars, one partner

Governance and operations

Running things smoothly

Board papers, policies, HR and the day-to-day admin that keeps your organisation on track, so it doesn’t all land on you.

Fundraising infrastructure

Fundraising that works

Keeping on top of grants, funder reports and donor records, so applying for and managing funding feels less like a scramble.

Marketing and communications

Getting your story out there

Your website, social media, newsletters and campaigns, so more people hear about the difference you make.

Digital and AI systems

Tech that saves time

Setting up simple systems and tools, including CRMs and AI, that cut down admin, with no tech team needed.

The gap between a strategy and getting it done

Management consultants hand you a plan and a PowerPoint, then leave. We stay.

Numidia Ltd is the operational partner that picks up where strategy stops, building the systems, infrastructure and hands-on delivery that let small charities and social enterprises raise funds, measure impact and keep the lights on, without burning out the people running them.

Numidia Ltd was founded by Kerry-Ann Francis, who brings hands-on experience in CRM, fundraising operations and charity governance.

Frequently asked questions

A fractional COO is a part-time chief operating officer who leads an organisation’s operations (systems, governance, processes and delivery) for a set number of hours each month. For small charities and social enterprises, it means senior operational expertise at a fraction of the cost of a full-time hire.

We support small charities, social enterprises, CICs and other purpose-driven organisations across the UK, acting as their fractional COO so they get embedded operational leadership without the overhead of a full-time hire.

A management consultant typically writes a strategy and leaves. A fractional COO stays and does the work: building systems, managing compliance and leading day-to-day operations so the strategy actually gets delivered.

A no-obligation conversation to understand your organisation, explore which package fits your needs and decide together whether we’re the right operational partner for you.

Our minimum is 10 hours per month. Support is flexible and scalable, whether you need short-term project help or ongoing operational leadership.

It depends on your goals. Many organisations see quick wins from improved workflows or successful funding bids within the first few months, while others benefit most from ongoing operational leadership over time.
