Our Code of Conduct
Who are we?
The Good Faith Partnership works with senior leaders from politics, faith, charity and business to achieve common goals. We receive grant-funding for some areas of our work and will engage clients in others. The Good Faith Partnership is a social consultancy, incorporated as a Limited Liability Partnership since July 2016 and led by Dr Russell Rook and David Barclay.
We convene senior leaders from different sectors to catalyse innovative solutions to society’s most difficult problems. We work with government and charities, philanthropists and foundations, companies and communities. We help leaders and organisations to harness the energy and expertise of their wider communities. We unite many passions, skills and specialisms around a common vision: the power of collaboration between people of good faith to bring about meaningful change.
