Imagine you know the true potential of your charity retail business and have a detailed plan to achieve it. This is what the Skyline Health Check does.  It shows you how to optimise the unrestricted income from the retail business. 

For a charity retail organisation to be successful, it needs to be able to review and measure its own performance against the optimum potential.  While it is easy to believe this review can be achieved internally the reality is only independent diagnostics brings the assurance required.  Within charity retail a review process is complex, thanks to the range of interdependent variables involved. 

A Skyline Health Check is designed and proven to identity the true potential of a retail business and generate a plan to deliver the additional profits. 

A Skyline Health Check is a mixture of strategic and operational diagnostics using qualitative and quantitative analysis.  This is critical to fully understanding the root cause of everything and fundamental to identifying the true potential. Doing this is often difficult for the retail team, who work at the sharp edge of the organisation as they are often too close to it. We also understand the current retail team might be apprehensive so we work with them to reassure them and provide clarity of what we are doing.  

It’s for all of these reasons that Skyline has developed ‘Skyline Health Check’. This market-leading and original ‘Charity Retail Health Check’ service offers charity retailers a detailed, bespoke audit of their operations. It provides impartial, actionable insight through which retail boards and CEOs can then make informed decisions.

By understanding the current state of play, we can make informed decisions about where improvements might be made, and where weaknesses might be exposed in the future. Through this process, we can close the gap between where it is now, and where you want it to be. The more accurate our picture the easier it is to optimise the business and write a retail strategy that is built upon a firm base.
