At the end of last month, we had the absolute pleasure of celebrating four years of Pro Bono partnership between OC&C and Youth Endowment Fund at the House of Commons. At OC&C, we have a proud history of using our skills, resources, and expertise to maximise societal impact and over the past 4 years alone, we’ve dedicated over 19,000 hours, across 25 projects, to organisations close to our employees' hearts. The theme for the celebratory night was ‘Measuring Impact’ – a challenging but increasingly important topic for businesses, investors, and the third sector. And an area we believe we can all learn from each other. To support this debate, OC&C Partner Bennet Summers, facilitated an inspiring panel, consisting of: ► Jon Yates, Executive Director for the Youth Endowment Fund, who passionately shared hard-hitting youth violence statistics, the charity's beginnings, and its current focus on changing policies and practices for genuine positive change. ► Anne Kazimirski, Evidence and Impact Director at Guy's & St Thomas' Foundation, who discussed the foundation's urban health programs across Lambeth and Southwark and their approach to evidence and impact. ► Louis Elson, Co-founder and Managing Partner at Palamon Capital Partners & YEF Committee Member, who emphasised ‘it’s not good enough to do good and feel good – it’s got to be scalable’, alongside discussing the trade-off between the importance of measuring impact vs the ultimate goal of creating impact itself. He also raised the thought-provoking point that, what we as people value, doesn't align with what we can easily measure. We’d like to thank both our panel and attendees for sparking a great evening of discussion and debate on the often-overlooked social aspect of ESG. As a B Corp, we’re committed to balancing profit and purpose, ensuring our firm is a force for good™, and we remain on track to dedicate 1.5% of revenue to pro bono work. With this in mind, it was fantastic to top off the evening with OC&C and YEF formally signing up for another 3-year pro bono partnership. We look forward to continuing to support YEF on its journey to prevent children and young people from becoming involved in violence.
