Our Values

We are a social enterprise to the marrow. We exist in business to make a positive social benefit, wherever we possibly can. If it is helping an organisation speak up for itself, we want that to happen. If it is a piece of research to finally describe a situation which policy-makers need to know about to change the system, we want to make sure it is done well. We believe you know more than we do about you, so we listen and value what you bring. We believe communities know more about themselves than we ever can, so we bring processes to encourage that knowledge into an open forum. Our commitment is to encourage local solutions to local needs, strengthening the local economy and encouraging local capacity.

At GKG we don’t want people do things just for the sake of doing them. We want people to enjoy what they do, to be fairly rewarded for what they do and to be recognised for what they do. We firmly believe that people give the best work when they are working to their capabilities, when they work to their enjoyment levels and when they feel supported in their work. We want to make a positive difference in society; people working with us share this desire, and are willing to share skills, knowledge, and expertise as widely as possible.

We do not want to waste money or time; ours or yours. We will not tender if we cannot do your work. If we know an organisation who would be better suited to your needs, we will tell you so. We hold and adhere to policies on equal opportunities, disability and data protection.
