Our mission: to advance understanding of the many ways charities address public needs and amplify the effectiveness of the work of nonprofit organisations. Part of New College, University of Oxford.
What happens when you put non-profit researchers in a room with non-profit practitioners? Answer: new insights, unexpected perspectives and LOTS of food for thought!

A big thank you to everyone who joined our volunteering roundtable in Oxford yesterday - we'll be sharing outcomes soon ✨

Last week we had the privilege to partner with Clore Social Leadership to deliver the first part of our 'Leading Social Impact' programme at Oxford University. We are so grateful for everyone's willingness to share and learn, which sets us up beautifully for the upcoming online sessions, and beyond!

Wonderful to have our team of visiting researchers back in college over the last few days. They had a busy schedule, discussing a wide range of topics from AI to volunteering. We hope they've come away inspired and invigorated and we look forward to sharing their research with you very soon!
