At Almond Tree Strategic Consulting (ATSC) we help you deliver tangible improvements in impact for your beneficiaries.
Since 2007, ATSC has supported hundreds of public and third sector clients and our Director, Julian Lomas, has been a charity trustee for even longer. We see ourselves as being in, of and for the third sector; we share your values.
We offer a wide range of support and consultancy in both UK and international contexts. Our aim is to deliver real benefit for your organisation and those you serve through sensible, practical solutions that meet your needs within the resources available to you.

“Julian Lomas and Almond Tree Strategic Consulting have supported and guided ICF through two years of significant organisational development. Taking great strides to understand and nurture our mission and unique role in the visual arts, Julian has helped us become more robust and responsive as a new charity, diversify our funding streams in precarious times, and strengthen the tools that enable us demonstrate and evaluate our social impact. Julian provides incredible value for money and is always sensitive to the demanding needs of a growing, diverse arts organisation at a time when arts organisations are struggling to survive in this declining economy.”
