Our impact

We have changed national government policies on charitable giving, data about charities and volunteering, and the relationship between civil servants and charities.

Our research and insights helped secure over £1 billion of government funding for children’s services, numeracy education and charities struggling with the cost of living. The government has committed an additional £250 million for children’s social care in 2025-26, partially due to our research into the state of children’s services funding.

Since 2009, we have supported over 634 charities and other purposeful organisations.

In 2024 alone, we supported 169 organisations, taking the number of services we’ve delivered in our lifetime to 812. The charities that we have worked with rate their likelihood to recommend us at 9.4 out of 10.
