The Stitch-Up

The newsletter that rethinks social and health sector systems.

Launching October 2025

Why do some community programs succeed while others with more funding fail? “The Stitch Up” delivers insights that challenge how the social and health sectors approach complex problems.


Each monthly edition takes under 3 minutes to read and includes:

The Yarn: Real insights from our projects that shifted how we think about social challenges.

The Stitch: Surprising examples of the social sector solving problems in unexpected ways.

The Pattern: One concrete action you can take to apply these insights in your own work.


Get perspectives that will make you rethink ways to create social change.
