OUR STORY
The Admin Office was founded in 2026 with a clear purpose: to provide specialist virtual admin support for the local small businesses, charities, community organisations, and voluntary groups of South Wales, the people doing vital work in our communities, often with too little resource and not enough time.
With over 20 years of professional administration experience and a long track record of supporting third sector organisations, including writing successful grant bids. The Admin Office brings a level of expertise and sector knowledge that sets it apart from generalist Virtual Assistant services.
We understand the capacity challenges of small businesses, how charities work, the pressures of trustee governance, the complexity of funder reporting, and the importance of getting grant applications right. We have lived and worked in South Wales communities for years, and we care deeply about the organisations that hold those communities together.
Our services are delivered entirely virtually, which means we can support organisations anywhere in Wales and beyond. But our roots, and our heart, are firmly in the South Wales Valleys.
Our Founders
20+ years in admin experience, and a passion for our local communities
The Admin Office was founded by Amanda, a professional with over 20 years of administration experience and a specialist background in the third sector, including extensive experience writing successful grant bids and supporting voluntary organisations at every stage of their development.
Alongside her is Co-Founder, Laura — born and raised in the Rhondda Valley, with a background in administration and the care sector. Laura's experience supporting people at their most vulnerable gives both her and The Admin Office a deep understanding of the values that drive third sector organisations, and a genuine commitment to the South Wales communities they are proud to serve.
What We Stand For
At The Admin Office, we believe that the organisations holding South Wales communities together deserve the same quality of professional support as any large corporation, without the corporate price tag.
We are here for the charities applying for grants at midnight, the community groups running on goodwill and volunteer hours, the small businesses keeping the valleys alive.
We bring over two decades of professional experience, genuine third sector knowledge, and deep local roots to everything we do.
We do not just handle your admin. We care about what you are trying to achieve — and we are proud to play a small part in helping you achieve it.
