Pro-bono services

GC provided Frontline, a Berlin-based social enterprise, with the tools to better engage with European policymakers on the directive and broader debates and support for victims of gender-based violence. This included fortnightly monitoring of the EU institutions and key member states; advice on Frontline’s policy papers; and a roundtable convening officials from the institutions to share international best practice. 

GC seconded a member of our team with the Black Equity Organisation (BEO) a growing black civil rights organisation in the UK. The secondment included leading the development of the organisation’s first-ever public affairs strategy, enabling the team to establish themselves with key policy stakeholders and supporting them to make progress on their objective of ending systemic racism in the UK. 

The European Food Banks Federation (FEBA) is a Brussels-based NGO representing more than 300 food banks in 29 countries. GC worked alongside FEBA to develop a policy paper on food waste targets, creating a detailed stakeholder map specifying relevant policymakers. As a result, FEBA hosted an event that was well attended by EU policymakers, officials and wider stakeholders to present this work. 

REDRESS is a legal NGO based in London that works with survivors of torture to obtain justice and reparations for violations of human rights. REDRESS came to GC with two challenges principally around strategy and capacity building. As with other GC clients, we have provided a combination of strategic advice, internal knowledge-sharing, and a suite of products to help them execute their advocacy strategy in an effective way.
