Customised Programmes

Develop your workforce with our range of customised programmes, tailored specifically to your needs. Drawing on our extensive networks and cross-sectoral expertise, these unique and highly specialised programmes aim to develop capacity in and around mitigating social issues.

Impact assessment

We help organisations prove and improve the value of what they do, and equip them with the tools to bring broader social value into the decision-making process. We do this by identifying key areas of social need where investment could be made and by evaluating the impact of CSR campaigns.
