"We are delighted to be working with truly inspiring I have a voice and would thoroughly recommend it to colleagues across the public affairs industry. With a majority female management team at GK, supporting greater diversity in politics and communications really matters to us. Our staff are really motivated and inspired to support IHAV's ambassadors in their powerful campaigns. We've held media training for them, offered mentoring, paid internships and given them work experience. I cannot stress enough the positive impact supporting IHAV has had on GK. We all have a responsibility to help shape the next generation of communications professionals – get involved!"
Robin Grainger, Chair GK Strategy
We are looking for meaningful long-term partnerships that make a tangible difference to the diversity of our profession and the political sphere.
Our partners help us reach those communities whose voices are most marginalised and missing from political discourse.
Your support enables us to campaign for political education for all.
