Day 1 Investing in Impact Conference

Day One at Investing in Impact: A powerful reminder of where true value lies.

The Accelerating Impact panel brought together global and local voices shaping the future of social value. We heard from Jeremy Nicholls, Co-Founder of Social Value International, and Simon Faivel, Director of Consulting at Social Ventures Australia.

Together, they offered sharp insights and honest reflections — a powerful reminder that building social value is a long-term commitment, not a quick fix.

John Tamihere, CEO of Te Whānau o Waipareira’s kōrero cut to the heart of it: “Whānau are the ones who judge our success, not the funder.”

At Whānau Tahi, our systems are designed with whānau at the centre — not as data points, but as decision-makers. That impact is enabled by kaimahi and clinicians, who walk alongside whānau every day, capturing their stories, aspirations, and outcomes in ways that honour mana and whakapapa.

Social value isn’t just a framework — it’s a lived experience. With the support of frontline teams who bring it to life.

Grateful to be part of a movement that’s shifting power, telling truth, and accelerating impact.
