Slide 1
21st Century Social Reform

The Shaftesbury Partnership has been shaping social reform in the UK and beyond since the partnership was founded in 2006. For more than twenty years we have worked with partners to confront injustice and inequality at scale, inspired by the great Victorian reformers whose legacy still changes lives today.

Our focus is not only on launching ventures and restoring systems ourselves, but on building the tools, movement, and resourcing that enable others to do the same in their own contexts. That is why our venture studio carries the name SPX. The X represents multiplication, expressing our commitment to equip leaders and organisations so that impact grows far beyond our direct work.

Our Services

Our Innovation Management service builds on our venture experience to help businesses, nonprofits and public bodies procure innovation for impact to achieve their goals resiliently.

Through our Data Science work, we also equip social innovators and reformers with the tools needed to measure, predict, and simulate the impact they seek to make on systems.

Our Learning Communities nurture and train the individuals who will become future agents of systems change, and help other organisations form their own learning communities for change.

Case studies

Together with our partners, our team has delivered multiple large scale, impactful reforms through venturing, training leaders and apprentices, and influencing public policy at the highest levels and locally.

Literally millions of lives have been impacted, transformed, and restored through the Shaftesbury Partnership network, at both project and systems level.

This has included work across a range of diverse sectors, such as education, poverty alleviation, youth, health, and employment, with many more sectors and systems in the pipeline.
