About Results

Results’ mission is to create the public and political will to end poverty, by enabling people to exercise their personal and political power for change.

Results is a movement of passionate, committed people. Together as staff and grassroots activists, we use our voices to influence political decisions that will bring an end to poverty. Our advocacy is built on global solidarity, partnership and shared empowerment. This is crucial to challenging the racist, colonial and oppressive narratives that have underpinned development and that help to both create and maintain poverty. We prioritise specific issues on which we can have the most influence to achieve progress, including health, nutrition and education.

Supported by our Campaigns Team, within which this role sits, our network of grassroots campaign groups and individual volunteers across the UK regularly take advocacy actions on specific issues on which we seek to make lasting change. Our aims are to mobilise resources, change policies, and create the public and political will to bring about the end of poverty.
