a leading provider of business support, training and consultancy to the social enterprise, voluntary and community sectors

The Guild was formed in 1991 by Nicky Stevenson and Sally Kelly and has established a national reputation as a leading support organisation within the voluntary, community and social enterprise sectors.  Since then, The Guild has grown into a dynamic team of full time staff and associates.

The Guild provides hands-on support for organisations that are starting up or developing, while also undertaking research and consultancy work with significant policy implications.  The Guild is unique because we have a real understanding of the day-to-day issues experienced in the voluntary and community sector combined with a deep knowledge of the policy framework in which they operate.

Based in Norwich, The Guild works with many local organisations and individuals in the East of England.
