Our stories, our humanity
September 3, 2026
Today, we’re publishing our commitment to ethical storytelling and media engagement.
We believe in a confident social sector able to develop and amplify lived experience stories and expertise to address social inequalities.
We want to see people in positions to use their lived experience of social injustice so they can influence change on that issue.
We work towards greater representation and diversity of the voices we hear in the media and beyond.
Find out more about what we do and who we are.
Our programme creates a network of confident spokespeople, who have direct experience of social injustices. Developed collaboratively with a network of leaders with lived experience, it aims to diversify the voices we hear in the media and in rooms with policymakers and other decision makers. Through training, mentoring, peer support and speaking opportunities, we tackle the barriers that prevent these experts from engaging with the people and platforms that have the power to influence national conversations. Meet the network.

Today, Kristine is recognised as a leading voice in medically important remediation, healthy buildings and indoor environmental health, working across housing, construction, healthcare and policy to drive meaningful change.
