Thoughtworks has a long history of supporting social change. We hire people who care about creating a more equitable future and balance our work alongside commercial clients with a steady stream of social change initiatives and partnerships.
As we emerged from the Covid pandemic, we want to do our part in rebuilding where it was needed most, so we set up the Social Change Lab to offer partnership to a wide range of Not for Profits (NFPs).

Our UK social change clients say...
It was inspirational to see the passion and drive that Thoughtworks had for One Million Mentors; there was a real connection to what we’re trying to achieve. They became my adopted team and vice versa – it was so refreshing to not be treated as just a client.
What Thoughtworks have done for us is they've catapulted us into the modern era.... I just can't imagine how we would have got this achieved through a regular company. Because it was such an interactive process. There really seemed to be little to no bureaucracy. Everything was very easy.
