Testimonials…

“If you're thinking about completing the BIA for B Corp certification, this course with UK for Good is invaluable. In fact, I'm not sure how anyone manages to certify without it. Lynne was so helpful and knowledgeable in leading the course. She went out of her way to share resources, answer questions and lead us through the overwhelm. I can't recommend the course highly enough.”

- Martha Moger, Founder, The Stitch Writer & Co.

“I can’t believe it! I’m a step closer to being B Corp certified!! After attempting to certify by myself, I found the B Corp for Small Business Programme invaluable to achieving my goal. The programme demystified the complicated B Corp language and supported me as I worked through the extensive application.

My amazing Impact Consultant and her encouragement played a key role in making me feel I was capable of achieving my goal, and also valued as a small business owner working towards better business.

Thank you for everything.”

- Claire Steele, Creative Director, Lil’ Creative Studio

Meet Your Programme Leader

Before becoming Co-CEO at UK for Good, Lynne Griffiths took her company AG Communications through our B Corp for Small Business Programme.

“After completing this programme with my own business in 2022, I am excited to now help guide other small businesses leaders through the B Corp experience.  It's hard work, full on and absolutely the best thing I have ever done for my business. I've made the mistakes, learned that we were already doing way more than I expected and found the best hints and tips to embed purpose and impact into the whole business. My business certified in June 23 and I look forward to helping more small businesses on their journey to certification.”
