Our Mission & Purpose
We help individuals, teams, and organisations achieve positive social change.
We do this by understanding context, developing capacity, and using evidence-based approaches.
Together we want to improve global health and wellbeing.
Strategy and Organisational Development
We help you articulate what you want to do.
We add value to your team, your strategy, and your organisation. With decades of experience working in and for NGOs, the private sector, and public bodies, we bring critical thinking, a rapid appreciation of your organisational culture, and the ability to translate engagement and insight into tailored solutions that are unique to your organisation.
Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning
We help you measure your impact.
We enlarge your understanding of the positive impact of your projects and programmes, as well as their unintended consequences. We assist you to ask the right questions, interpret findings, analyse the implications for your organisation, and plan how to embed learning across your teams.
Conflict and Resilience
We help you tackle the complexities of your unique context.
We understand the practical, social, and policy-level challenges associated with the legacies of conflict and violence. We support you to draw on both international experience and local insight to develop a deep understanding of the issues that confront you, and design projects tailored to the needs and sensitivities of your particular context.

Helen Merati
Partner
I have worked in International Health Development for over 13 years - in operational and consulting roles across the public, private, and not-for-profit sectors. I've managed projects, teams and grants in the UK and internationally, across different thematic areas - including maternal, newborn and child health, and sexual and reproductive health and rights, including HIV. I'm interested in using monitoring, evaluation, and learning techniques to inform positive change, and keen to work with like-minded people who also want to make positive change within society. I'm also really interested in the interface between wellbeing and different aspects of health, and I'm keen to explore the infusion of personal wellbeing principles and practice into our professional lives.

I provide training and facilitation across mediation, dialogue, trauma intervention, resiliency and other practices related to the support of populations affected by conflict. I have a long history of leadership within the non-profit sector, and bring insights from peace building work to the third sector by providing creative approaches to fostering wellbeing within organisations and teams.
