Our Approach 

We believe effective place-based work requires head, heart and hands. We guide our partners to: 

• See the full picture - Understanding both the data and the human stories that make each place unique 

• Connect across boundaries - Breaking down silos between sectors, organisations, teams and community groups 

• Build compelling narratives – Surface the learning about how we create the conditions for long-term change rather than deliver short-term interventions 

We focus on building internal capacity rather than dependency. Our partners develop: 

• A deep emotional connection to why place-based work matters 

• Clarity about their role in the local ecosystem 

• Practical processes and tools tailored to their specific context 

• The confidence to navigate complexity and uncertainty 

Our Impact 

Our partners consistently report that working with us helps them move beyond fragmented initiatives to create cohesive, effective approaches that respond to real community needs. They develop both the passion to drive change, and the systematic approach needed to sustain it. 

Whether you’re new to place-based working or looking to deepen your existing approach, we can help you connect the head and heart of your work to create lasting positive change in the communities you serve.
