Let’s start a conversation.
Are you a university, a college, a local authority, or maybe a funder or a business interested in making a difference in young people’s lives? We’d love to start a conversation with you.
Grit doesn’t see its partners as simply organisations to ‘deliver to’ - our partners are working alongside us, co-designing the best structures and approaches for our workshops to create value. The relationship we strike up with those who work closely with us is at the heart of how we operate.
We love learning together how to keep doing things better.
We create forums for our partners to talk to us (and each other) about the challenges and successes of delivering on transformation. The Grit network is one of learning, collaborating, challenging and sharing.
And it’s not just about our programmes, we work with businesses who provide volunteers, donate space or pro-bono expertise, these are often organisations that are open to learning too and are keen join our round-table discussion events.
As with many things at Grit, it all starts with a conversation.
“In Grit I see the passion, the commitment, a can-do mindset coupled with huge expertise. And this is critical for us at Octopus. We’ve got around 1000 members of staff with a massive range of skills so we want to support charities where our money AND our expertise can make a real difference.”
Simon Rogerson, CEO Octopus Group
“Grit began working at Ark Elvin in April 2018 at a time when the school was going through immense changes. We were on a journey of rapid improvement and Grit played a pivotal role in helping us meet our aims... The programme has been very effective in making a difference to the lives of the pupils involved. Grit have been flexible and have allowed us to tailor the process to suit our local needs. We look forward to extending the partnership”
Tommy Ittu, Deputy Headteacher, Ark Elvin Academy
