The issues of health, education and welfare can often feel intangible and immovable. Despite feeling like we are slipping backwards on these issues, we often look to the government, expecting them to drive change. Yet, in our focus on government as an omnipotent force, we might overlook the organic source of change at the grassroots. Charities, NGOs and Community organisations often serve as the safety net for the most vulnerable among us. However, they struggle due to insufficient funding, resources, and the means to measure their impact. Social Investment is an initiative that aims to promote and resource the grassroots programs that are working. Joining me to talk more about this is former Prime Minister of New Zealand, Sir Bill English. Today his organisation Impact Lab helps charities and NGOs better measure the impact they have. You might notice that the audio quality of this episode isn’t up to our usual standard. Unfortunately we had some issues with the recording and have had to do our best with a backup. So please bear with us, we promise it’s a conversation worth listening to.
