About MBS

Our gears are colourful, mesh together and help everything run smoothly. They symbolise how MBS team work
with clients, to serve and support
their needs – and then be removed or replaced if needed.

Essential behind the scenes, often unseen but hopefully never unappreciated!

Wendrie Heywood, Mindful Business Services founder.

Welcome!

MBS combines experienced administrators and bookkeepers with modern technology to provide services to support our charities.

We use modern technology such as cloud-based email, document storage, room hiring, invoicing, accountancy programmes, and Zoom meetings.

When you’re facing a medley of problems, large or small, it can be difficult to know where to look for solutions.

We have free resources, including our blog, and of course you can hire us to do some of the tasks you need doing.

We love helping people get things done to have more time for the fun things in life…

or to get back to doing whatever it is you wanted to do

We all work remotely, so while we are available during normal office hours you’re not paying for any time that we’re not working for you.

MBS specialises in working with small UK charities, especially those with buildings owned by faith groups who want to hire out their building to create income. As we’re a Quaker company that’s where we started, but we are now a group of people from various backgrounds and beliefs and have worked with an equally diverse range of charities, non-profits, and community groups.

If you think we can help, why not click through and book a chat?

More History

Mindful Business Services started in 2012 when Wendrie was asked if she could do ‘this bit of Quaker admin’ by enough people that she realised there was a need she could meet.

From there we’ve grown to add in bookkeepers, project managers, room hire fundraisers…

We incorporated in September 2013, celebrated our tenth anniversary as a limited company in October 2013, and are VAT registered.

Meet the Team

Mindful Business Services Ltd (MBS) is a family-owned private limited company that focuses on serving, not fixing or helping.

While we can’t solve all of your issues, we see ourselves as working alongside you as you deal with the ever changing challenges and queries relating to running a charity.

“Helping, fixing, and serving represent three different ways of seeing life. When you help, you see life as weak. When you fix, you see life as broken. When you serve, you see life as whole… When we help we may inadvertently take away from people more than we could ever give them; we may diminish their self-esteem, their sense of worth,integrity and wholeness. When I help I am very aware of my own strength. But we don’t serve with our strength, we serve with ourselves. We draw from all of our experiences. Our limitations serve, our wounds serve, even our darkness can serve. The wholeness in us serves the wholeness in others and the wholeness of life… ”
