A project's success depends on more than just a solid plan and a sound budget. It requires a "Social Licence".

This is the unwritten approval and trust that a community, your staff, or your stakeholders give to your organisation.

Without this crucial support, even the best-laid plans can face delays, public opposition, and costly failure. We specialise in helping you earn your Social Licence through a proactive and genuinely collaborative approach to engagement. It ensures that your projects are accepted, and embraced.

Together, let's aim for more.

Earning a Social Licence isn’t a PR exercise; it’s the result of authentic, inclusive action. We work with you to move beyond simple communication and build genuine partnerships with the people who matter most to your success. Our process involves:

Building Trust Through Action

Our Approach

Stakeholder Mapping

We begin by identifying every group with a stake in your project.

Facilitating Dialogue

We create and manage platforms for open, two-way conversation. We ensure concerns are heard, questions are answered, and every stakeholder feels valued and respected.

Co-creating Solutions

We work with your stakeholders to make them part of the planning process, folding their ideas and feedback into your strategy to create a powerful sense of shared ownership.

Investing in a proactive engagement strategy delivers clear and powerful benefits for your organisation.

The Value of a Strong Social Licence

Reduced Project Risk

By addressing concerns early and fostering buy-in, you minimise the risk of costly delays, opposition, and negative publicity.

Enhanced Brand Reputation

Organisations that listen to and collaborate with their communities are seen as trustworthy, ethical, and credible partners.

Stronger Community Partnerships

Genuine engagement builds lasting relationships, turning potential opponents into supportive advocates for your mission.

Legitimacy and Ownership of Action

Our process is designed to build the legitimacy and credibility you need, creating a sense of shared ownership that ensures your project's long-term success.

Engagement in Action

For a recent project with Hertfordshire County Council, we managed communications with the wider community through a series of open meetings. The feedback we gathered was folded directly into the relaunch plan for a vital public service, building crucial public ownership and ensuring a smooth and successful transition.
