“The coaching support has been fundamental to our group, and we actually have now hosted a successful community engagement event. We continue to collaborate with other like-minded communities and groups to elevate the conversation around affordable housing need... We very much look forward to further coaching opportunities to build on our action and learning.”

“Tamarack has been instrumental in our storytelling journey, supporting our impact framing and service delivery, and providing valuable mentorship and peer learning opportunities. These contributions have truly enhanced our work.”

“Tamarack’s scalable infrastructure -including online courses, Communities of Practice, and shared evaluation frameworks - enables rapid uptake by new communities without proportional increases in cost or staffing. And it... [is] influencing national and provincial poverty reduction strategies and inspiring place-based approaches in Aotearoa, Australia, and the UK. Tamarack scales through partnerships and policy influence rather than direct delivery – this has yielded exponential returns.”
