Collaboration is where true impact takes shape, and our members continue to set the bar for impactful, sustainable change. From cross-sector partnerships to community-led initiatives, Nation Builder members are proving that when we unite around a common goal, we can create change that lasts—that matters.

A recent collaboration between Elevation Programme and Athlone House of Strength (AHOS) showcased the power of collective impact. Elevation Programme, committed to equipping young people with essential life skills for the working world, partnered with AHOS, an organisation dedicated to empowering victims of abuse.

Recognising the interconnected needs of their beneficiaries, the two organisations joined forces to deliver Elevation Programme’s impactful 10-day life skills programme to ten women supported by AHOS. This culminated in a memorable graduation ceremony celebrating the first all-women group of graduates. For these women, the programme offered a vital step towards rebuilding their lives, equipping them with confidence and practical skills to navigate their futures.

Although some women will be concluding their time at AHOS, Elevation Programme will continue to support them through its work readiness programme, ensuring sustained mentorship and guidance.

This inspiring partnership demonstrates the power of collaboration—how aligned values and combined expertise can drive greater impact. By uniting their strengths, Elevation Programme and AHOS are not only empowering individuals but also fostering holistic healing, creating lasting, transformative change for vulnerable communities.
