About Us

Tried and tested methods of developing leaders to make a transformative difference across their communities

We aim to

Support people to discover purpose and develop leadership potential, empowering people to make a social impact in the lives of disadvantaged and marginalised people in their communities and beyond.
Provide easily-accessible, cost-effective, interactive experiential eLearning and development opportunities, with a requirement for participants to proactively cascade their learning practically with other people in their community as part of our methodology and learning criteria.
Bridge the gap between desire, and the real opportunity to get involved in social action projects by providing a support network for collaborative effort of like-minded individuals, to work together on social projects and broker volunteer opportunities with the not for profit organisations and charities with whom we work, support and network.
