Using our skills and money to support new ideas to address (in our own small way) the world’s biggest problems is of course at the heart of why we exist and what excites our community and our clients. Our partnership with and sponsorship of Creative Conscience (which exists to drive creative talent from all around the world to apply their heads to create socially valuable ideas and campaigns) is now in its third year and yet again, our breath has been taken away by the winning entries from their 2018 Awards.
Steph’s personal favourite is a community art project where communities can share what they are thankful for and learn about benefits of practicing gratitude.

Last night we had the privilege of attending the 2017 Creative Conscience Awards. The quality of the creative work was as ever outstanding – below you will be able to see what we mean. Social & Local is as ever proud to be partnering CC and sharing 50% of our profits to leverage impact by enabling this talent to get out there into the World and make it a better place.
There’s a gap in education for chronically ill students who are not well enough to attend school. While these students receive support from the government for core subjects, there is little in place to help with non-core subjects.
As a result, Class Cast is a program that would bring the classroom to the student using video, VR and live streaming. Not only can Class Cast help chronically ill students, but it has the potential to help students around the world who lack access to education.
An interactive wellbeing exercise and learning book for children ages 7–11, helping children from a young age to learn and manage their emotions.
The book itself contains a range of exercises from breathing exercises to distraction exercises, diary entries and worry trees.
Each emotion has different coping methods and ways for the children to understand the emotion and learn why they feel this way.
The book highlights how important it is for children to be growing up and feeling comfortable talking about their emotions and expressing them as both a child, a teenager and an adult.
