What We Do

Why we exist

Every day our public and  third sector leaders face tough internal and external challenges. We work with many of them, people who have the big ideas and the bravery to tackle these challenges head on. People who spend their time working against a tide of increasing demand and reduced funding (whilst dealing with the backlash that often comes when the two don’t match up).

By bringing big-picture thinking imagination and hard graft we help public and third sector leaders not just think differently, but do differently. We get them moving on the projects that really matter: the ones that make the most impact on the lives of everyday people. We want to create real change for the people in our region. We want to think bigger and focus on the things that are taking the most time and brain power.

Why? Because we want the Liverpool City Region to be the best place to grow up, grow wise and grow old.

We get stuff done

We’re not your everyday consultants. We put our ideas into action and actually do the things we talk about. That means we’re on a journey with the organisations we support. Our offer is vast, but here are some of the ways we support our clients and partners…

Understanding the problem

Research and data.

Outreach and engagement.

Reporting and communication.

Strengthening provider capabilities

Growing great leaders.

Strategic support.

Being a ‘critical friend’.

Designing services that work

Feasibility and viability.

Service redesign.

Understanding impact.

Getting bigger and bolder

For some time, we’ve been thinking about the role we can play in supporting our partners to make public services people services.

We’re on a mission to create the conditions for change, deepening our impact by working collaboratively with local organisations and individuals to transform our public services. Whether that’s by delivering long-term, high-impact projects, supporting charities and social enterprises to make breakthroughs or bringing together leaders and doers to think about change, we’re enabling people to do things differently.
