How we create impact

We operate at the intersection of government, social purpose, business and philanthropic sectors, and appreciate the opportunities and challenges each sector brings to solving issues of disadvantage.​

Our work supports SVA by developing evidence-based, innovative, real-world solutions to influence policy, practice and funding. The Policy and Advocacy team distil insights from across the organisation, undertake research and policy analysis and engage diverse stakeholders alongside our partners to identify opportunities for influence and impact.

Policy and Advocacy influences systems to change lives.

We work to inform and influence governments, policymakers and the not for profit sector to create largescale impact.

Our successes are SVA’s successes – our work, including our series of perspective papers on key SVA expert areas, are often instrumental in making sure projects hit the ground running with a clear understanding on policy landscapes, key stakeholders, and opportunities to drive change.

We’re currently advocating for innovative policy solutions on:

  • quality jobs for young people
  • growing the impact investing sector
  • supporting the charity sector

P+A supports our expert areas through system analysis, identifying the drivers of change, and scoping opportunities for impact.
