The 2022 Ingenuity Programme was supported by over 200 volunteers from the UK’s most impactful organisations. Their insights at the State of the Nation Summit, business tutorials for the Develop Platform, advice during drop-in sessions and 1:1 mentoring activity has enabled us to provide world-class enterprise training to this year’s cohort. We are incredibly proud of the diverse range of organisations who have supported our changemakers and the impact it has had on their businesses.
Our State of the Nation Summit raised awareness of the key challenges the UK faces in building stronger communities, improving health and tackling climate change. Rooted in the Ingenuity Process, our changemakers were able to identify how existing organisations are responding to gaps in services and provisions and identify the role they can play in driving change. The Summit featured keynotes and panel discussions from a range of top UK impact-driven organisations. Participants also engaged in creative problem-solving sessions hosted by the University of Nottingham, University of Warwick, University of Gloucestershire, University of Portsmouth, Bournemouth University, University of Sussex and University of York.

A huge thank you to everyone who supported our programme this year by being a mentor for the Regional and National Finals.
