NPC has been helping charities, philanthropists and businesses to maximise social impact in the lives of the people they serve for over 20 years. Through our think tank and consultancy work, we provide a challenging and independent voice that inspires bold initiatives and much needed innovation in the social sector.
We help charities, philanthropists, businesses and funders to move from ‘in principle’ to ‘in practice’. We develop and encourage the take up of new ideas and strategic leadership to help the social sector overcome the everchanging challenges they and their beneficiaries face.
“NPC is a thought leader, yet at the same time focused on the practical side of the work, providing solid, hands-on guidance and support.”
