How we work
We are a fully remote organisation, which means we don’t have a central office from which we all work. Instead we are dotted all over the UK working from our homes, coffee shops, co-working spaces – basically wherever helps us get our best work done. We meet up twice a year in-person as a whole team, and there are opportunities to meet together as individual teams as needs arise.
As a team we know we are far from the genuinely diverse organisation we strive to be but we are on a journey with EDI and we will not give up until we are a place where people from every background feel they can belong. You can read more about our EDI work here.

Respectful
We draw alongside others and genuinely listen, affirming the dignity of everyone we encounter.
Excellence

Ambitious
We push for all to achieve their full potential so that together we can fulfil our vision of every child in need being raised in a strong family.
