It is great to see this year’s Mount Everest Challenge raising money for a client of ours - Live for More!

The challenge involves walking, running, or crawling up Mount Maunganui 38 times in just 50 days which is the equivalent of climbing Mount Everest.

"Live for More empower rangatahi/young people to find freedom from their troubled pasts and be inspired to live positive and fulfilling lives. Through their surf therapy programmes, they transform troubled lives – one wave at a time."

Have a look at their website here - https://lnkd.in/g4gQaPxZ

Recently, Common Room sat down with Maria English to address a question that lies at the heart of ImpactLab’s mahi.

“If there’s one thing we can all agree on, it’s that every person has the right to form hopes and goals for their life, and to go after them. But some New Zealanders face real barriers to doing this. So how do we make investment decisions work for communities that will benefit disadvantaged New Zealanders in the long term? How do we do good, better?”

Maria went on to offer us a way forward.

“If we can connect our investment decisions to an understanding of the long-term value created for people and society, it can change how we make decisions to benefit disadvantaged New Zealanders.”

Thanks, Common Room for your work!

Get to know our CEO Maria English.

Kelly Dennett and the Stuff NZ team recently profiled a list of Kiwis who are making strides in 2023. They range from writers to sports coaches and CEOs.

Check out the candid interview they conducted with Maria, as she looks forward to an exciting year for ImpactLab and the social sector more generally.

“People have the courage to make fundamental changes in their lives; it’s just a question of how we get in behind them.”

We asked around for people leading change and making strides in their industries, these are the people we were told about.

Today, ImpactLab says goodbye to two of our brightest - Lucy King and George Metson.

George joined the team in early 2020 and is now heading back into academia to complete his master’s degree. He was an integral team member from the early days of ImpactLab. His stick-to-itiveness and searing intelligence helped form GoodMeasure into what it is today. We’ll miss you, George!

Lucy joined us in 2021 and is now set to begin her new adventure with BD Ladder. Her expertise in marketing and engagement was pivotal to our start-up days. We are going to miss her infectious energy around the office!

Thanks for playing such a significant role in our Mahi. We look forward to seeing what the future holds for you both.

What motivates us to do what we do?

"I believe everyone has the right to form hopes and goals for their lives, and to pursue them... But some people face real barriers to living the life they want because of poverty, broken family relationships, health challenges, or other reasons. Whether it's choosing to turn up to school, to tackle a drug addiction, or to get out of debt, it can take real courage to make positive changes in your life. Luckily, there are many amazing people and groups who can help. I think these people deserve the best tools possible to support their work." - Maria English, CEO of ImpactLab

A poem written by our Research Lead, Luke, after we visited Elisha Watson at the nisa workshop last Friday!

“ImpactLab prizewinner Elisha from Nisa. Who runs a unique charitable business fashion boutique (near the top of Willis Street). That provides jobs for refugees. Here, she effortlessly charms a rapt, besotted team. The impossibly hard ('specialty retail' through Covid), made to look easy, and chic. A working workshop, perfectly clean, funky, pristine. How can one person know/manage 'everything' - tariff history, inventory, how to fix the old machines? A great place to go, for gifting and undergarment needs. Nisa.”

Congratulations again Nisa, for winning our What’s your Impact? Competition backed by BDO New Zealand. Our team look forward to helping you tell your impact story!
