2. Becoming a B Corp changed how we work

After two years of work, we became a Certified B Corporation with a score of 118.9 — one of the highest in the UK. For us, certification was a blueprint for building a better business.

The B Corp framework holds us accountable across everything we do: how we treat our team, choose our suppliers, and measure our environmental footprint. It’s helped us turn our values into everyday actions and given our charity partners confidence that we walk the talk.

3. Giving back is good business

Becoming a member of 1% for the Planet cemented our commitment to giving more than we take. Every year, we donate 1% of our annual revenue to environmental organisations making real change.

We’re passionate about freely sharing knowledge, and in 2024 Col became a trustee for local mental health charity Leeds Mind.

We believe it’s our responsibility to use our experience for the benefit of others and these kinds of connections are amazing for building up charities and seeing change in action. It’s the same reason we invest in training like the Workplace Wellbeing Movement, to help make positive change both in our workplace and in the industry.

4. Collaboration creates change

One of our proudest partnerships is with Leeds Mind, through our annual fundraising event Get Together Through Gaming (GTTG). What started as a small idea to use gaming for good has raised significant funds as well as the profile of this great cause. The first weekend event in 2023 raised £4,626, and most recently the 2025 event achieved £8,211 over just 3 days.

But beyond the numbers, it’s the community that matters most. Each event brings together gamers, creators and supporters to talk about mental health in open, authentic ways. It’s proof that creativity and collaboration can drive both awareness and action. The 2025 GTTG also resulted in the highest rates of engagement that Leeds Mind’s social media has ever experienced, reaching new key audiences for the organisation.

5. Community is everything

Over the years, we’ve built a network of brilliant partners, clients, and peers who share our belief that business can be a force for good. From hosting free webinars and sharing open resources on our Charity Hub, to supporting smaller organisations through mentoring, we’ve made knowledge-sharing a core part of what we do.

Our client relationships are a real point of pride at Few and Far, as we become champions of our clients’ mission. Investing time in campaigns like the year long Healthy Minds project enables us to get to know a client’s audience and create impactful work that makes a real difference. Whether through impact-driven design or consulting on an entire charity digital strategy, client success stories are our greatest wins.

6. Growth means investing in people

We started as a two-person team with big ambitions. Today, we’ve grown into a talented collective of designers, developers, strategists and thinkers united by purpose. We even outgrew our original office and moved into our new bespoke studio, giving us space to collaborate, create, and support each other better than ever.

But growth for us isn’t just about size, it’s about sustainability. We’re proud to be a Living Wage Employer, offering flexible working and wellbeing-first policies that ensure our team can bring their best selves to every project.

7. Recognition as a purpose-driven business

Seven years in, our focus hasn’t changed. As parents, founders and creatives, we think a lot about the kind of world we’re helping to build for future generations. That’s why we’ll continue to use our skills to help charities amplify their impact, create digital experiences that connect communities, and run a business that balances purpose with performance.

This year we were honoured to have Dr Sarah Hughes, CEO of Mind write the foreword for our 2024 Impact Report. Recognition from figureheads in the industry we’ve committed to serving is a reminder of our purpose and we don’t take it for granted. Even kind words through client testimonials and customer reviews demonstrate the credibility we’ve worked so hard to build in the sector.

The last seven years have been transformative for Few and Far but in many ways, we’re only just getting started.
