Strategic Partnerships The Action Group serves over 2200 children and adults with additional support needs across East Central Scotland, establishing broad local credibility and potential for collaborations with local authorities, NHS Scotland, housing associations, and other public sector entities to deliver employment and housing-support programs. The organization’s Real Jobs program and Advanced Autism Accreditation underscore delivery quality that can strengthen joint bids and program evaluations.

Leadership Growth The recent appointment of Paul McCrory as chief executive signals a leadership-driven phase for growth and fundraising. This presents opportunities to secure new donors and CSR partnerships, extend grant-funded programs, and scale services within the 1M to 10M revenue range by expanding contracted services and impact-focused campaigns.

Autism Expertise With Advanced Autism Accreditation and a recognised Real Jobs service, The Action Group positions itself as a center of autism-focused employment and support. This offers a clear path to develop paid consulting, training, and advisory offerings for employers, schools, and other charities seeking autism-informed practices.

Digital Advantage The organization’s tech stack shows active use of web and front-end tools. There is an opportunity to enhance digital fundraising, donor management, and service-delivery platforms with modernization, accessibility improvements, and data analytics to improve engagement and grant-writing effectiveness.

Regional Expansion Currently focused on East Central Scotland, The Action Group could pursue regional expansion and new public sector contracts across Scotland. Leveraging leadership momentum and proven program models such as Real Jobs could support scaled deployment of employment and support services to a broader beneficiary base.
