The work of The Purpose Coalition starts from a simple premise: tackling complex social challenges demands collaboration that is practical, accountable and prepared to challenge the status quo. That is why the recent announcement that two Coalition partners, E.ON Next and The Wise Group, are joining forces with Glasgow City Council to help ease child poverty matters so much.

This month we welcomed the Wise Group, a long-standing Purpose Coalition partner, to share how they turn mission into measurable systems change.

When it comes to changing lives, the Wise Group doesn’t just ask what work - we ask what needs to work. In a landscape where public services too often feel transactional and reactive, we’re flipping the model. Not by patching over problems, but by fundamentally redesigning systems to support people and place. 

The UK Government’s latest sentencing reforms are an attempt to ease pressure on prisons and increase rehabilitation. Purpose Coalition organisations like Sodexo and The Wise Group are already show what efforts to boost rehabilitation and reduce reoffending looks like in practice.
