WHO WE’VE WORKED WITH
Good Ideas empowers and nurtures individuals, transforming the seeds of their ideas into impactful realities. We cultivate a strong network of social innovators, working together to drive meaningful change.

Good ideas was born from a deep-seated desire to support individuals in this challenging space, fostering a close-knit community of practitioners at similar stages of development. Together, they learn, grow, and collaborate, nurturing their ideas.

“Good Ideas helped to take a wideranging concept and distil it into tangible ideas and action points.”

HIGHLAND CREATIVE RETREATS
“Good Ideas basically helped to solidify the idea, look at the audience and do some initial tests... Thanks to that, I was convinced that there was a potential for Wee Seeds to become a business.”
CHRISTINA CRAN
WEE SEEDS
“I most remember the passion and enthusiasm the team had for social enterprise. I always came away from the sessions energised!”
LOUISE IRVINE
PRIDE OUTSIDE
“Good Ideas was the catalyst to making my social business idea a reality. Most valuable to me was having dedicated time to do things... Having a weekly workshop means that you have the mental and physical space to dedicate to your idea.”

“At a personal level, entrepreneurship can be quite a lonely road, so having other people through Good Ideas that really understand this to talk to and get advice from was hugely significant.”
CHRIS HELLAWELL
THE TOOL LIBRARY
“Support from Good Ideas was a key, fundamental step in launching us and making our charity a success.”
MARY SHARPE
THE REWARD FOUNDATION
“Good Ideas was absolutely pivotal. I describe it as taking me to the edge of the cliff and giving me the necessary push/prompt to jump. I'm aware this doesn't sound like the most positive metaphor (!), but that exciting bit where you don't know where/how you're going to land is what launching a start-up is like.”
