Our WHY 🧡

We are ecstatic to have been named as one of this

We are ecstatic to have been named as one of this years top 100 social enterprises in the @natwest SE100.

Thank you @pioneers_post for recognising us on our (social) business performance and impact management.

One of the reasons that we registered as social enterprise was because having witnessed so much lip service on equity, diversity and inclusion, we wanted to a business structure that measures impact and is transparent about it. We are all about the action!

Our impact report will be released next month with more details, but for now THANK YOU to you all for your support to-date 👊🏾💪🏾🧡
