our impact
We believe accountability is imperative for change.
That’s why we measure our impact across every programme we run.
Our impact reports help us understand how our programmes are affecting the young creative, creative industry professionals, and businesses that we work with.
We use this data to identify areas to evolve our programme and offering and help us make sure everyone has a positive experience with us.

“It shows the expectation that we have for young people to have technology and the means to be on call. It is quite humbling, and it’s also an example of why lots of young people face these barriers. The expectation is there to have slick portfolios, and it was important for us to see first hand and put a different perspective on those barriers to entry.”

“What I really enjoyed about the programme was that my mentor didn’t know me at all. She would just ask me questions on what I’ve done and what things I want to do. She was just my personal cheerleader and instilled me with a lot of confidence in the things I’ve done, the things I want to do, and helped me see what I’m capable of doing.”
— Toni-Ann Murphy, soho mentorship
“I found the process incredibly helpful to be able to start those development conversations. I switched away from acting like a teacher and having one way conversations, and used the coaching and listening skills that I found were much more effective with my mentee, and then in my job.”
