Impact

I judge my work on:

​

  • the extent to which marginalised and disadvantaged people, animals and the environment have a stronger voice in the discussion of issues that directly affect them

​

  • the tangible outcomes that are likely to improve the lives of marginalised and disadvantaged people around the world
