I founded Make Impact to empower companies to use their business as a force for good and to make the process clear,  aligned with business strategy and fun.

With a background in social enterprise and innovation, I am passionate about creating positive social and environmental impact through business. In my role as Development Director at The Platform I had the aim of helping social enterprises to set up, grow and create more impact. I established a social enterprise network, experimented with new business models and designed innovation projects with social enterprise leaders from the UK and Europe. This led to the organisation becoming the largest regional social enterprise hub in the UK, the creation of a range of business startup and accelerator programmes and considerable growth in the sector.

Through this work at the social enterprise hub I was increasingly approached by companies that weren’t social enterprises. Growing companies that wanted to make a social and environmental impact but didn’t know how. But what was stopping them? Working with and learning from these companies I found that although many wanted to make impact, few knew where to start. Of those that did, they often found the process a challenge; struggling with competing priorities, a disjointed approach and a lack of understanding on how to create meaningful impact. This led to the development of Make Impact’s framework that brings about an inspiring vision for the organisation, aligns it with business strategy and provides support to realise the company’s business and impact aspirations.
