- We are the proud author of Adventures in Advantaged Thinking for and with Foyer Federation and Your Housing Group - capturing all the key insights and voices from over ten years of the Advantaged Thinking approach, with future ideas and a call out for action. Best of all, you can download your free copy at the link above.
- We have continued to work with leading youth sector funders Paul HamlynFoundation and Blagrave Trust to support the development of and learning from the Opportunity Fund, a groundbreaking initiative that tests out a new approach for young leaders to activate their lived experience of social injustice through a campaign or social enterprise over an 18 month timescale of funding and support.
- We are working with Launch It and Enterprise Nation to evaluate the impact of their UK Community Renewal Fund project,Next Generation - supporting young people in london aged 18-24 to start up a new business. We are also working with States of Mind to help oversee and capture learning from an exciting youth-led National Lottery funded mental wellbeing initiative, 'Connecting Minds'. Capturing impactful learning is one of our specialities, reflected in the work we carried out for the Listening Fund in the Strength in Solidarity report.
- We continue to assist Foyer Federation and Foyer Foundation Australia on the quality assurance of Foyer services, leading the delivery of two different accreditation schemes which we originally innovated in the UK and Australia.
- We offer a new Critical Friend service to organisations such as Northside Partnership in Ireland, with a special focus on supporting leadership teams to accelerate the impact of asset-based and Advantaged Thinking approaches.
- We continue to assist the organising of the Room for Young People Awards, including supporting InspireChilli's own Team Young People to judge the entry nominations.
- We deliver and facilitate internationally-recognised training and development workshops along with 1-1 mentoring, offering insights into asset-based, Advantaged Thinking, solutions-focused approaches, including co-production, motivational interviewing, change management, impact evaluation, and business modelling.
- We co-author publications requiring strengths-based expertise, such as the Homeless Link Becoming Strengths Based resource and a report with Peer Power for the JYB on Co-creation and Participation in the Youth Justice System; and we also enjoy appearing as a conference speaker, most recently delivering the keynote for World Teachers' Day with VDC in Victoria, Australia.
- And when we are not doing the above, we serve as Chair of Trustees for the award winning We Belong, the UK's first charity set-up and run by young people from migrant backgrounds. An inspiring charity achieving positive change in the face of the hostile environment. We are also a trustee for SoundDelivery Media Charity.
