Every time Impetus appears in the media, people contact us and offer to help. With nearly one in five people living in poverty now, we need more people getting involved, and you can help us by spreading the word about the impact Impetus is having. Read about recent media coverage.
Find out what's new at Impetus now, and what's new at our charities. To keep informed on a regular basis, sign up for our newsletter.
Please contact Kawika Solidum to arrange an interview with one of our spokespeople. Impetus chief executive Daniela Barone Soares is an engaging and thought provoking interviewee, who speaks regularly at conferences and in the media about:
* the urgent need to break the cycle of poverty - and how it affects us
* the huge impact venture philanthropy is having
* what it's really like to volunteer your skills and experience (and why it's important)
* the best type of help for the voluntary sector
* and much more.
If your deadline is imminent, please telephone the press office on +44 (0) 20 3551 7048.
