Not another Xmas gift list, but a list of all our new guides and reports in 2021

Kia ora from Jess and Marianne,

Well, it's been a year for us all (another one!). The challenges don’t stop, and for us that is very true personally and professionally. Standing back and considering the amazing work that has been done by people across all our communities, in government and business to help us through COVID-19, we are reminded again that coming together is what we do.

Our shared values, and vision for what is possible drive both ordinary and extraordinary acts of care and love for each other in challenging times. Thank you to all of you for being part of a larger us this year.

We hope our contribution to this collective effort has been helpful. As founders and co-directors we feel very proud of our growing team, their hard work, and their ability to respond to the needs of people across different sectors from health to environment. You can see below the wide range of areas the team has worked on.

We’ve welcomed new people and said goodbye to others, as we continue to adapt and work out how we do this narrative work best. All with the goal of helping you implement changes that will make the biggest difference to people and the planet.

We hope you all find some time for rest, joy and reconnection over the coming months, and thank you for all the support you give us. It’s your optimism, enthusiasm and enjoyment of our work that continues to motivate us.
