At Outside ideas, we believe that meaningful change is driven by collective effort and the strength of community. For a small business, it’s not about striving for perfection; it’s about the consistent efforts of all small businesses that create a lasting impact. Every effort counts.
Our mission is to inspire individuals and businesses to contribute to a better world in any way they can. By focusing on sustainability and charity, we hope to highlight opportunities for everyone to make a difference.
Whether it’s through reducing your carbon footprint, supporting reforestation projects, or raising funds for charitable causes, your contributions matter.
The world doesn’t need thousands of perfect change makers, but millions of imperfect ones.
We understand that every action counts when it comes to preserving our planet for future generations and are proud to be a Carbon Neutral company.
Through our partnership with Ecologi, we actively support reforestation projects and carbon offset initiatives. This collaboration allows us to fund tree planting efforts, reduce carbon emissions, and contribute to global environmental conservation. Additionally, as proud ambassadors for the Earth Trust and Wild Oxfordshire, we also play an active role in local environmental projects, promoting biodiversity and protecting natural habitats.
Our efforts don’t stop there, within our own operations, we’re reducing our carbon footprint with energy efficient practices, eco friendly purchasing choices, and recycling programs.
Our hope is that by being open about our journey we can use our voice to spread awareness, showing small business owners that they can make positive changes on a budget, have a big impact, and still be profitable.
Since the beginning of Outside ideas, starting with our early fundraising for the Alzheimer’s Society through Networking in, we’ve continuously expanded our efforts to support worthy causes.
Over the years, we’ve raised funds for numerous initiatives and made a significant impact on various communities. More recently, we’ve furthered our commitment by bringing charity CEOs and leaders into our Mastermind9 Groups, providing them with a platform to share their missions and grow their impact.
With Mastermind9 organisations such as Ronald McDonald House, HomeStart West Berkshire, and the Kenyan Children’s Project have all benefited from our support – and we want to do more, if you’re a Charity CEO or Leader and would like to work with us, apply here.
Our charitable activities are driven by a genuine desire to make a tangible difference in people’s lives. Whether it’s through fundraising events, volunteer work, or direct donations, we are committed to helping those who need it most. We believe that by working together, we can create a stronger, more supportive community.
Our commitment to a better world is driven by a deep seated belief that positive change is possible when we all do our part.
We are dedicated to fostering a culture of sustainability and compassion within our team and among our clients. By integrating environmental and charitable initiatives into our business model, we aim to inspire others to join us in our efforts.
At Outside ideas, we know that our actions, no matter how small, can have a significant impact. We are proud of the progress we have made so far, but we recognise that there is still much work to be done.
Our journey is ongoing, and we are continuously looking for new ways to enhance our impact and broaden our reach.
Being a director of a charity is a lonely business but the M9 groups give me a sense of purpose and a feeling of belonging.
