Policy in Practice’s mission is to reduce poverty. We believe the welfare system can work more effectively, and help people toward greater independence, if it is simple for people and organisations to understand. Our software helps people on low incomes to understand how changes in welfare policy affects them, so that they can make better decisions and lead more fulfilling lives. Our engine models how the policies of four government departments affect thousand of individual households on low incomes. We use a scientific approach to data visualisation that can drill down to individual households and help people to take control.

Blume gives employers a platform for accessing experienced professionals flexibly and easily across a range of disciplines, including HR, accounting, project management, and administration. By using Blumers, employers can get expert support when they need it, while adding diversity and valuable expertise to their teams. At the same time, Blume is increasing opportunities for older workers by connecting seasoned freelancers with flexible employers. We have an ageing population but not an ageing workforce. The cost to industry from losing older workers and the accompanying brain drain is enormous. The chances of being employed decrease markedly when people reach 50, even though they have so many skills to offer. This is bad for them, but also for the economy which loses all this talent. The over 50s are also a powerful consumer group and deserve to be taken seriously. Ageism is part of the problem but so too is the lack of flexible, interesting work which is attractive and accessible to older people. Blume is changing this with by generating fun, flexible and lucrative opportunities for older people, and by providing excellent services of great value to organisations and individuals.
