The charity achieves its objectives through the skills and expertise of the Foundation Guardians and the wider Insights community, managed by an operations team who work within the governance structure of the Insights Foundation. Insights Foundation was set up in January 2020 and became operational in April 2023 to advance citizenship through supporting the leadership and organisational development of charitable and other voluntary organisations. We work with the leadership to understand how they might benefit from our expertise, to understand themselves and others better, enabling an effective team to achieve their objectives in serving others.
