Training & Development for Third Sector Organisations
When you’re striving for social gains, your people need high-impact, one-to-one support: a route to personal development that’s role and learner specific – meeting their unique challenges through proven, relatable coaching.
At MEP, we help third sector bodies to deliver target outcomes. From effecting cultural change to widening strategic impact, we’re here to equip your teams and leaders with the skills to adapt and evolve.
Developing your third sector team for
impact and efficiency
Coaching the individual
No doubt you’ve built an eclectic team, with diverse backgrounds and talents. So each will have their own unique skillset, their own learning style, and their own bank of personal experience to draw on.
That’s our starting point. Instead of one-way lecture-style training, we’ll connect each learner with a personal tutor who’ll gauge their perspective and make the subject personally relatable.
Where we can, we connect each lesson to work they’ve carried out for you, so it has an authentic and contextualised base to build on. Failing that, we look to their earlier career, or pose questions from real life cases in your organisation or sector, so they can draw parallels and build out their knowledge through association.
Either way, the purpose is to embed established principles through a tangible process that’s more effective than theoretical learning.
In other words, “bespoke” to us means customising twice – adapting first for local needs, then adapting again for each learner.

Case Study
English language training for Gulab Sorkh Foundation
The Gulab Sorkh Foundation supports former members of the Afghan security forces – people who worked closely with the British armed forces for 20 years, before moving here with their families under the Government’s Afghan Relocation and Assistance Policy (ARAP).
As their training partner, we’ve run a series of bespoke English language courses, tailored to help their evacuees integrate with their communities and improve their employment prospects.
All migrant and refugee communities need access to language skills, but old style “vocab and grammar” teaching is rarely fit for purpose. As this case shows, we can make a deeper social impact when the training aligns with the wider needs of the learning community.
In the client’s own words:
“MEP has been the trusted training partner for the Gulab Sorkh Foundation as we seek to build independence in the Afghan evacuees we support.
They have developed an excellent programme of English language training with an emphasis on good citizenship and employment skills.
This is delivered by MEP professionals sensitively and effectively. The MEP service has been truly first rate and we couldn’t recommend them more.”

We at Balfour Beatty strive to create a safe working environment for all our staff.
This is sometimes assured through impactful training on topics that add value to the daily operations of all our internal stakeholders. Minerva Elite Performance worked incredibly hard to ensure that the training was engaging, thought-provoking, but most importantly added operational value.

We have worked with MEP to shape this delivery, so it meets the requirements of an ever-changing programme.
MEP has shown flexibility, adapting to the changes we require in a cooperative and positive manner. This is what is needed when delivering a programme that changes on a frequent basis. I highly recommend Minerva Elite Performance and feel that they will provide excellent support to other Local Authorities and organisations.

Molly was our main point of contact, and from start to finish, she was absolutely spot on.
The students really enjoyed the session and said it would be great if she could deliver more courses for the next group of Uniformed Protective Services students coming through. We will definitely be getting MEP back in.
Kieran Warboys
Uniformed Public Services, Herefordshire College
Re-entering an academic training environment was a daunting prospect after several years decades away from it!
In hindsight there really was no need whatsoever for concern, the Minerva Team are small and perfectly formed, from my initial first contact through to finishing the qualification they were always there to support me every step of the way.
