Social Consultancy

We campaign to build a network of organisations who truly believe that ‘society matters’ and part of that campaign is to facilitate the great intent of corporate social responsibility plans and ESG policies by turning them from just that – plans and policies – into vibrant social action programmes that empower your whole organisation, address the real needs of your community and transform your culture. Examples of our work include:

Delivering Pillar 3 of NTCA’s Child Poverty Prevention Programme, working with businesses from all sectors to look at the real experiences of their staff in the current economic climate and develop active frameworks to enable change.

Championing Multiply workshops that address with confidence and capability in numeracy, but also the gaps in understanding that exist in personal finance, debt and budgets that can make a substantial difference to people’s lives.

Pay It Forward – sponsor training to make your mark

If you’re looking for a way to make your mark on your local community, a brilliant way to do that is to sponsor training to help charities and voluntary organisations to build their knowledge, to increase the impact they can have on the people who need their help.

  • You select which social welfare training course you’d like to sponsor.
  • You choose which community you would like to support – we will connect with CVS organisations in the location of your choice.
  • We ensure that any community organisation receiving details of the funded training knows it’s you that’s made that possible.
  • We will also celebrate your sponsorship on our website, in our Make Your Mark newsletter for professionals, and throughout social media.
