MHFA England Impact Report 2019

Our support of other purpose driven organisations

We want to extend our impact and support other social enterprises, charities and businesses with good social and environmental credentials. It is a goal for us to continue working with more purpose driven organisations in the coming years. This could be from buying their products for our office to collaborating on a new initiative. Here are a few organisations that we’ve enjoyed working with this year:

SEUK are the membership body for social enterprise. We are proud to be a member of SEUK. We are looking forward to working with them to raise the profile of the positive impact that social enterprises make to the economy and wider society. The way we do business is vital for the long term wellbeing of society and we are proud to be part of a vibrant and growing social enterprise sector. On Purpose is a social enterprise who run programmes to develop leaders for purpose driven businesses. We currently have our third On Purpose associate working in our central team. It is exciting to see the talent coming into the social enterprise sector. Our associates bring a wide range of skills with them and a new perspective to add value to our organisation. We are pleased to give them the opportunity to work in a new sector.

Centre for Mental Health is a charity with over 30 years’ experience in providing life changing research, economic analysis and policy influence in mental health. They do brilliant work which we, and other mental health organisations, all benefit from. We are pleased to be working with them for a study on the impact of our training.

QConsult is Queen Mary University of London’s employability programme. It places students into mini consultancy projects in London-based businesses and charities. We worked with a group of five students to collect and analyse data from our instructor membership to inform our product development.

The Champion Agency is a creative and social enterprise. They champion those that make a positive impact. We are delighted to have worked with them on creating this, our first impact report.
