Context

ActionAid UK (AAUK) is a complex, values- driven organisation which is implementing an exciting new 2025-2028 strategy with one overarching goal:

Decolonise our systems and practices to tackle the root causes of inequality and justice. Four strategic goals will steer our direction:

1. Champion women’s rights organisations and feminist movements driving systems
2. change.
3. Build donor, political and popular support for fair and just systems.
4. Strengthen global solidarity networks.
5. Re-envision and create equitable new ways of working.

Alongside the strategy, a transformation and innovation programme will embed a fundamental shift in the way the organisation operates, involving significant and sustainable changes to its culture, systems and practises. Transformative change at AAUK means change that is fundamental, lasting, and which challenges existing internal and external structural inequalities. These changes will also be guided by our Theory of Change and our feminist, decolonial and anti-racist principles. 

A priority is to change the way we currently approach monitoring, evaluation, accountability and learning (MEAL) at an organisational level, looking specifically at how we assess change and impact across our yearly organisational plans and within the four-year strategy. 

AAUK is seeking a qualified consultant or a company to collaboratively design, develop and deliver a new approach to capturing change and impact at ActionAid UK, moving the organisation away from traditional types of metrics and methods.

We are looking for you to conduct a light-touch review of our current organisational methods and tools and develop a new organisational transformative change framework, training workshop and action plan. We would like this consultancy to:

• Develop an approach to capturing transformative change and impact over time which captures gradual/incremental or exponential changes.
• Capture systematic changes and shifts in thinking and behaviour/culture
• Enable staff to feel confident to gather and interpret evidence of change alongside diverse experiences including their own
• Enable AAUK to capture collective contributions to change, recognising that no single action or individual makes change happen.
• Help us use the information we gather to inform and improve our work and better understand our unique role within the complex ecosystem of organisations and partnerships in which we work.

Objectives of the assignment

• Review and support the transformation of our organisational monitoring, evaluation, accountability and learning processes to align with our new strategy and decolonial approach.

Deliverables

The consultant / firm will work in collaboration with colleagues from AAUK Leadership and Transformation teams to:

• Create a plan and methodology that is aligned to our strategic objectives, decolonial approach and transformation activities.
• Conduct a light-touch process review, including desk research and conversations with key members of staff – to understand our current organisational monitoring and reporting processes, methods and tools.
• Develop a new Transformative Change organisational framework/toolkit which includes methods and tools for measuring change at organisational and team level and establishes a baseline from which we can improve and which captures both successes and challenges.
• Develop a staff training workshop on the new framework and tools.
• Provide a workplan with future recommendations and actions.

About Us

For over 30 years, The Money Charity has been the UK’s Financial Capability charity. We proactively provide education, information, advice and guidance to people of all ages, helping them to manage their money well and increase their Financial Wellbeing. We believe that being on top of your money as a part of everyday life reduces stress and hardship, helps you achieve your goals and live a happier life as a result, so we empower people across the UK to build the skills, knowledge, attitudes and behaviours to make the most of their money throughout their lives.

Our strategy for 2025-28 includes the aim to double our workshop delivery to children and young people, which is why we are looking to grow our network of consultants.

We are a small, passionate team with a big reach and an open mind, committed to quality, accessibility and inclusiveness. 

For more information about us, please visit our website.

About The Opportunity

Money Workshops are the core of what we do. Through these sessions, we reach over 40,000 people per year across the UK with our vital financial wellbeing messages. 

This offering is split between two areas of work: Workshops for children and young people (our Financial Education offer), and Sessions & Programmes for adults (what we call Financial Wellbeing Training). We are looking for multiple Freelance Consultants to deliver to one or both of these two groups. Please see the job descriptions below for more information about each opportunity.

The Workshops are interactive, engaging and relevant, covering topics including budgeting, saving, borrowing, investing, pensions and much more. In the majority of cases, they are also fully-funded (free) to the organisations we partner with, keeping barriers to access as low as possible.

As well as delivering the Workshops, you will play a role in promoting them, which means you should be able to forge strong relationships with stakeholders and should be confident in reaching out to new contacts. This will involve sending marketing emails to education establishments and charities, reaching out to existing contacts, and possibly the use of social media to promote the workshops. It also means Consultants can control their own diaries and commitments, meaning that this is an ideal opportunity for those looking for flexibility.

This is an exciting opportunity to work with and learn from a team of expert consultants and staff, make a difference to your community and help The Money Charity to reach more people with our life changing financial wellbeing messages.

This role involves a significant amount of travel within your region, and possibly the UK, therefore willingness to travel is essential and a valid UK driving licence and use of a car is required.

The Money Charity is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of young people and vulnerable adults and expects all staff, contractors and volunteers to share this commitment. A satisfactory Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service Check is required for this opportunity.

We will be hosting a webinar on Monday 13th October at 2:30pm where you can find out more about the opportunity, and ask any questions. The link to sign up to the webinar can found on the job advert on our website.

Closing date: 17:00, Tuesday 21st October 2025.
