Celebrating Our 10th Year Anniversary This Month


This month we celebrate 10 years of helping socially driven organisations

Over the last 10 years, our Company has delivered support to strategic authorities and agencies supporting the VCSE sector, as well as providing direct provision to charities and social enterprises locally and internationally. Below we have provided a snapshot of fourteen case studies out of nearly 500 clients (it was hard to shortlist 10) to show the diversity and scope of the work we have enjoyed over the years.

We are proud that 70% of our work now comes from repeat customers or partner referrals.

our Company was established as a brand in 2005 as part of Striding Out CIC, before becoming a separate CIC in 2012. This year we gained backing from Big Issue Invest, to help expand our services and support more clients to transform the way they work. We have tripled our income and clients in 2015 as a result, and we look forward to continued growth.
