"Our core purpose is to make impact matter. For everyone. Everywhere. Every time"

"For us it’s not about the awards, or how many publications we’re featured in, it’s about the legacy

we leave and how many social enterprises we’ve helped to grow and be more impactful.

"But we realise for a lot of people and organisation it matters.

"you want to know that the person you’re going to be working with is an expert in their field and has credibility. Or maybe you’re just curious about what we get up to and what we talk about!

So here’s details of where our founder, Heidi Fisher, has been featured and the awards she has won and been nominated for"

Here are just a sample of some of the other blogs and podcasts that Make An Impact CIC have been featured in over several years, and capture the essence of what our work, vision and mission are all about.
