Impact approach
We know that our interventions are all the more powerful as part of a whole-person approach, and when those with lived experience are at the centre of defining how the impact of our work is measured.
We create a bespoke outcomes framework for every piece of work we do, involving many voices – service users, sector partners, government, our funders, and our team – and considering individual, organisational and system needs.
With this approach we are able to enhance engagement and ownership, with meaningful results.

Our work to date has yielded impressive results. Our educational and nutrition programmes have supported participants to improve their brain health and delivered additional benefits. These include:
› The development of positive social connections and relationships.
› Improved mental wellbeing, self-worth, and sociability
› Increased cognitive function, knowledge, and skills that support wider career opportunities.
› Reduced physical health inequalities, volatility, violence, and self-harm.
› Sustained behavioural changes with an improved ability to achieve goals.

Our own and wider research demonstrates that the right nutrition improves brain health – which then has knock-on effects on behaviour and general health. This results in a positive and wide-ranging impact on individuals and on society as a whole.
› Our innovative trials within custodial settings have demonstrated the potential of our work to reduce levels of violence by up to 37% and other offences by up to 26%.
› An important clinical trial we conducted with pupils in a ’problem’ school showed a significant and positive increase in sociability, decreased disruptive behaviour, and overall positive results.
We also know that our work has a ripple effect and that our participants share their learning with their families and communities. Our studies have been replicated elsewhere, most notably in the Netherlands, with similar results.
