We’ve talked about what it means to be Built Differently—this next chapter is about how we move differently, too. As a women-powered sport and social impact consultancy, we see every layer of the system: governance and leadership, partnerships and activation, delivery and culture. That perspective makes us different—unparalleled in design, grounded in lived experience, and focused on turning moments into momentum.

Affleck & Co. has always been rooted in the charity, major funder, grassroots and non-profit world. It’s where our foundations are strongest, where our values sit, and where so much of our impact has been created. That won’t change.

The recent publication of a revised Charity Governance Code comes at a pivotal moment for the sport and social impact sector. It explicitly responds to the pressures boards now face: from rising expectations around inclusion and accountability, to the need to demonstrate social purpose, safeguard communities, and manage digital and reputational risk.
