Our expertise
The world changes and the charity sector must change with it. Coronavirus has been catastrophic, but good things have also emerged through new ways of working. Innovation and collaboration which would have taken years is now happening at lightning pace. We don’t have to go back to the way we did things before. How radical we are will be determined by our appetite for bold change.
At the same time, charities are grappling with the daunting challenge of climate change, an uncertain Brexit transition, and structural racism. Rising to these challenges demands charities to think hard about how they work, what they stand for, and how they intend to change things.
We’re taking these questions head on.

ClientEarth

Sortified
We worked with Sortified to generate a bespoke data set for Greater Lincolnshire, so they could develop an evidence-based Covid-19 community strategy.
NPC really impressed me with how quickly you were able to provide information, thinking and support in response to coronavirus. Your role in convening people and providing information was a real anchor at a time of uncertainty.
