‘Thanks to Mission 44, CAPE Mentors was able to redevelop our website and secure external support to guide our five-year strategy. This has been extremely valuable as we grow our reach to new local authorities and schools.’

'Mission 44’s collaborative approach indicates a real desire for meaningful impact. We’re confident that extending our Making Engineering Hot programme to more underserved communities will show real change is possible when we work together.'

Our partner survey results

In 2024, we launched our first partner survey to help us understand our partners’ experience of working with us and identify where we can improve. The survey had an 83% response rate and its finding included the following:

IMPROVING IMPACT

90% said that partnering with Mission 44 improved the effectiveness or impact of their organisation

WORKING TOGETHER

95% felt they could be open with Mission 44 staff about successes and challenges

YOUTH ENGAGEMENT

80% said that partnering with Mission 44 had increased their engagement with young people

EVALUATION & LEARNING

86% said partnering with Mission 44 has helped them to share their learning with others

CONVENING & CONNECTING

85% said that partnering with Mission 44 increased the opportunities they had to collaborate with others

BUILDING NETWORKS

70% said their organisation benefited from access to Mission 44's networks



The results have prompted us to focus on key questions to better improve the experience of our partners, including:

  • How can we invest in potential rather than 
 performance?
  • How can we ensure we continue to build strong, trusting relationships with our partners as we grow?
  • How can we offer other support to our 
 partners beyond funding?


Looking ahead, we’ll use the feedback to develop our support package for partners. We want to ensure our partners can access tailored support to help them develop their leaders and staff. We’ll also do more to bring our partners together, so they can collaborate and learn from each other.

As a new foundation, we’re just starting our learning journey and really value our partners’ feedback. Our next partner survey will launch in March 2025.
