At the #GoodSynergy podcast, we know that positive impact and lasting change is powered by a strong coalition of committed individuals from all quarters who come together to create change, build movements, disrupt systems and rewrite the narrative.
Everyone brings their own gifts, giving of themselves, their skills, their talents. The magic happens when people start collaborating together and using these gifts for the greater good. This is what we call #GoodSynergy. When this #GoodSynergy flows and is channelled through partnerships, networks and movements, ecosystems are built around the issues that matter.
The United Nations has a put a name to these issues: the Sustainable Development Goals, also known as the World’s Biggest To-Do list. In our podcast, we meet those folk who are shining a light on these issues – including philanthropists, companies and change makers – and taking practical steps in partnership with others to tackle them and be the change that they want to see in the world.
Tune in to be inspired by philanthropists, game changing companies and other change makers who’re creating #GoodSynergy. Join them on their impact journeys as they share the high and lows, learning gems and those pivotal moments that make it all worthwhile.

***Exciting News!*** Be The Difference and the Diversity Trust have teamed up to offer an Equalities, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion consultancy service for our mission-driven clients. To find out more about this work, please download the brochure by clicking on the thumbnail below.
Be The Difference were able to offer a flexible, ad hoc grants assessment service, which was perfect for us as we manage many grants programmes but can never predict the take-up.
Their evident knowledge and expertise in the voluntary sector combined with solid understanding of community-led service provision added another layer of depth to the grants assessments. This meant that much of the follow-up work that Cambridgeshire Community Foundation was expecting to undertake, had already been taken care of saving both resources and time.
