Charities and Non-Profit Organisations

Charities and non-profit organisations often face disputes that involve not only legal and financial considerations, but also governance responsibilities, stakeholder relationships and reputational concerns. Whether the issue involves trustees, partners, suppliers, beneficiaries or internal decision-making, resolving disputes efficiently and sensitively is essential in order to protect the organisation’s mission and resources.

Harbour Mediation recognises the unique pressures faced by organisations operating in the charitable sector. For this reason, we offer reduced mediation rates for charities and non-profit organisations, helping ensure that access to effective dispute resolution remains practical and proportionate.

Harbour Mediation’s Lead Mediator, Nick Cheshire, also brings personal experience of working within the charitable sector. Alongside his commercial work, Nick has held senior roles within charitable organisations, including serving as Director of the literacy charity Little Free Library Project UK and managing legacy funding for a major Devon-based charity. These roles have strengthened his skills in sensitive negotiation, governance and consensus-building, particularly where emotional, financial and reputational considerations intersect.
