From our Chief Impact Officer - Dr Erin Castellas
We are happy to share our first organisation-wide impact report to show how we’re thinking about impact and share some highlights of our impact performance.
The aim of this report is transparency — a chance for us to share our impact without being worried about perfection. Impact management and measurement is an emerging and evolving space, and we believe it’s time to lift the curtain and share our thinking and approaches.

Do get in touch with us if you are inspired to join us in a conversation about the impact we can make together and what we might also learn from you.
