In 2024 3.1 million emergency food parcels were distributed across the UK. How is this still our reality in the 21st century?

At SXSW London 2025 we’d like to have a frank conversation about how broken the system is and how the digital and creative industries can be part of the solution.

Leading the conversation will be Meredith Sneddon of anti-poverty charity and community of food banks, Trussell and our own Chief Client and Transformation Officer, Louise Lai.

In a fireside chat, they’ll share from their own experiences of collaborating through digital to build a movement for system change in support of Trussell’s vision to end the need for food banks in the UK.

We’re delighted to hear that the team have had universally positive feedback on the new name and look and they’ve seen a 9.4% increase in engagement time on their website as well as uplifts in social followers on their main channels.

Our Designer .mahadevan donated all of his annual volunteer hours to help the non-animal research charity with a refreshed visual identity to complement their new name.

Replacing Animal Research are now confidently using this identity to share their stories (including designing their own range of t-shirts!) so they can build support for their vision for a future where no animal suffers for science.

than 1 in 8 schools in England are now registered with the National Education Nature Park - meaning more young people are developing their connection with nature and helping to nurture care for nature across the generations.

We’re so proud of our award-winning work with the National Education Nature Park in which we designed and built the website resource schools and young people can use in their journey to understand and improve the outdoor environments of their educational settings.

Some of the features we’ve developed include a filterable resource library, a dashboard for educators and an interactive map (developed with ). Accessibility has been key to this development and we worked to make the platform accessible to a wide range of users, including people with disabilities.

Lauren Hyams, Head of Learning and National Programmes at the said:

"We are thrilled to celebrate the BIMA Gold Award, which recognises the transformative impact of our climate education programme. With more than 4,000 schools, nurseries, and colleges engaged and over 3 million square metres of habitats mapped out so far, the platform is empowering young people and boosting biodiversity across England. Thanks to the incredible partnership with manifesto and the insights gained from user engagement, we are taking action for the future of young people and nature."

Youth homelessness charity has a big goal: to end youth homelessness by 2037.

Currently, around 136,000 young people face homelessness in the UK each year. That’s a 5% increase compared to the previous year, and sadly, youth homelessness charity Centrepoint expects numbers to continue to rise.

Its website plays a critical role in raising awareness, driving donations and being a source of information and help for young people who are or are at risk of homelessness.

That’s why we’re excited to have been appointed to take over stewardship of Centrepoint’s website. We will be supporting them with continuous improvements to the site to help them achieve their objectives and deliver on their ambitious mission.

Our manifesto team will also be joining Centrepoint’s Sleep Out on Thursday 14 November, to understand just some of the realities that homeless young people face.

They’ll be raising funds so if you’d like to support them, check our profile for details.

manifesto will match the next £500 of donations so donate now and have double the impact! Thank you for your support 🧡
