The Wincott Foundation seeks to contribute to the better understanding of economic issues, principally by supporting and encouraging high-quality economic, financial and business journalism, in the UK and internationally. The Foundation believes that the media – print, broadcast and on-line – have an important role to play in reporting, explaining and commenting on economic and business developments. Accurate, objective and well-informed economic reporting and analysis in the media are essential ingredients of a well-functioning market economy.

Mabadiliko are a Community Interest Company whose aim is to promote discussion of race and understanding of the impact of unconscious racial bias on the lived experience of Black and other minority groups. This is achieved through Cultural Humility workshops where people of different backgrounds talk openly about identity and the issues that they have confronted in their lives. This non-judgemental approach is highly effective in giving people a deeper understanding of prejudice.

St Andrews is a thriving church in Catford which holds big musical events for the general public. They came to us because they'd had a domain with no website for three years and wanted something done with it. We built this site using Astra with Elementor Pro. We incorporated the Youtube videos they were making of their services due to the lockdown on the front page.

The 2000 Community Action Centre lies in the heart of Deptford. We built their website in 2019. It has a cafe with free internet which attracts a lot of local young people. It is an important hub in an area that is quite deprived of local leisure facilities.

From our experience visiting the centre it was clear that it would be good to take plenty of pictures to capture the friendly and lively atmosphere there.

Agents of Change are a remarkable charity based in Romania who support people with special needs. Many of them were born in the orphanages of Nicolae Ceaușescu. Agents of Change manage a centre in a very remote part of Romania, where many people barter rather than use cash for transactions. At the centre their clients can engage in a range of activities, both social and practical. Agents of Change have also worked with businesses and private donors in the UK to get an eye clinic established which has enabled their clients to have free eye tests and glasses.

Dancing Ducklings are a children's dance club. They are led by Caroline White, a very dynamic and engaging teacher and entertainer of pre-school aged children.
