Our pioneers & projects

The people who lead our projects think big, take risks and make things happen because they understand there’s no time to waste. We often support projects that are pre-start up or at small scale. But we make sure they have the potential to grow in size and make a difference nationally, or across their system or sector.

To find, select, manage and monitor projects with the biggest potential for impact, we draw on a variety of sources. As well as our in-house expertise, we use established processes plus our network of external experts that includes frontline workers and young people with lived experience.

Our support

We help our project partners develop in the key early stages of their growth, giving them the opportunity to demonstrate their idea and to scale up their impact. But this is just the beginning. To leverage our initial investment and extend their reach, we also offer non-financial support. This can include in-kind and pro-bono help, mentoring via our community, access to follow-on funding and support to amplify messages.

Every project we support becomes part of our alumni community, through which we share connections and learning.
