From community voices to
National Influence
Turn your experience and evidence into sector and government influence.
Through my personalised support, I’ll work alongside you, your team and board to develop an integrated plan that translates community insights, lived experience, research output and service outcomes into the language that decision makers trust, value and seek out for partnerships and support.
We help community-led organisations, researchers and advocates turn their lived experience, evidence and insights into the credibility that decision makers seek. Whether you're working to influence policy, forge partnerships or strengthen funder relations, we ensure that you are heard from the ground up.
Who We Are
If you are an established community-led organisation, lived experience advocate or social service who is doing incredible work and wanting to level-up, we want to hear from you. We will work with you to improve your government and funder relationships to scale your influence and impact.
We also work with research institutes and academics wanting to shape public policy or build industry partnerships. Taking your voice to influence.
A three-phase model to have you realising system change.
1. Narrative capture
A documented narrative framework that reflects your voice, values and priorities for system change.
This is the foundation for strategic advocacy, government and funder relationships.
2. Policy position statements
We translate community experience and organisational theory of change into concise, government ready policy positions that can be adopted and progressed.
Ready to use positions for submissions through to attractive funding proposals.
3. Top-30 power map
A ranked map of the most important government and sector actors who are vital to bringing about the change you seek.
Know who and when to approach. And don’t worry, we’ll pickup the phone for you as well to set those meetings.
