**The organisation**

People Know How is a Scottish social innovation charity based in Edinburgh and East Lothian. We
work with people and communities to develop innovative strategies and services to address social
issues both locally and nationally.

Our aim is to support and empower both individuals and organisations to mobilise their assets and
realise their true potential People often don’t realise that they know how, and that’s where we come
in - unlocking ideas for a better future, today. We call this social innovation.

We do this locally by developing and delivering new and innovative projects in collaboration with
people and partners. We do this nationally by initiating action-research projects in partnership with
academia and stakeholders from all sectors including other charities, community groups, business
and the public sector, derived from our local project work. From these activities, we run nationwide
campaigns that influence government policy, enhancing community development and acting as a
catalyst for systems change, policy development and improved practice across Scotland.

**Our mission **is to unlock potential, helping people turn their ideas into positive action.

**Our vision **is for people to have new opportunities, strengths, and assets to fulfil their potential.

**Our values **are to be Collaborative, Dynamic, Action Orientated, Innovative and People-Led.

**Our process**

All of our work is formed through our Social Innovation Model. The model is simple and cyclical - we
ask, research, do, share, and repeat.

Registered Scottish Charity Number SC043871

The model works to:

- Promote the positive change our projects achieve for individuals
- Build rewarding partnership to grow our projects
- Share how our work creates positive change with other organisations and groups
- Teach others to use our model to transform their ideas into action.

**Ask**
We begin every project by asking people to share their ideas,
needs, strengths and assets. We believe that people know
how to identify their needs and the solutions that will help
them fulfil their potential and solve social issues.

**Research**
We review literature, best practice, and collaborate with
leading figures to inform people’s ideas and ensure an
evidence base before proceeding with a project. We never
duplicate existing services and truly offer unique solutions.

**Do**
We run projects and deliver activities, putting ideas into
practice, testing, and refining as we progress. Built into our
projects is a robust framework of monitoring and evaluation
tools that constantly gathering data to assess our progress and performance.

**Share**
We share the approaches and impact of our work to recognise and celebrate positive outcomes. We
also share our failures, looking to improve and grow. We then ask people for feedback on what we
have shared, thus creating a cycle that drives continuous improvement.

**Action-research**
In collaboration with leading academic institutions, private enterprise, third and public sector
partners and government, we initiate action research projects that aim to test new innovative
solutions to entrenched social problems. This research ranges from multiyear longitudinal studies to
nationwide mass participation all the way to small locality-based surveys.

**Campaigns & Lobbying**
Through Connect Four, we will use our research base to share our impact with all our partners,
including running campaigns and lobbying. We believe that working in partnership and sharing
resources is key to driving social change.

**Our key services**:
**Positive Transitions**
Launched in 2014, Positive Transitions is a service supporting children, young people and their
families through primary and secondary school across Edinburgh and East Lothian. The service is
designed to support them to feel valued and understood, improve their self-esteem and peer
relationships, and enable them to fulfil their potential; and make a positive transition from primary to

secondary school. The service is made up of four key projects that provide both one-to-one and
group support.

**Reconnect**
Reconnect is a service offering support to adults and families in Edinburgh and East Lothian to help
them to improve wellbeing by increasing digital and social inclusion. The service is comprised of a
range of projects that address wellbeing. We believe that digital inclusion and social inclusion are
inextricably linked, and together can contribute to enhanced wellbeing. Our projects provide a
supportive environment t
