Our
Principles

Our purpose drives us to champion equity over equality.

This means we meet every individual according to their needs. 

We value people over profit.

Equity

We hold ourselves accountable as professionals. 

We invest time and effort to have the tough conversations.

We pay others fairly; we invest in ourselves.

Accountability

Our
Behaviours

Hold Space

Asserting that creativity is a great vehicle for change, and that everyone should get to design their future, every community we collaborate with is involved in charting a project’s outcome.

Co-Design

We create, and hold, the space for communities to have a voice – and to use it.

We value exchange over transactions.

We are welcoming, acknowledging people’s differences.

Our
Legacy

Impact

Beyond The Box exists because of our commitment to fostering change. 

We want every project to leave a positive legacy for individuals and communities. 

We design for legacy from the outset. 

We walk away when we believe our involvement will have no impact. 

Who we work with

Organisations that meaningfully want to connect and discover with young people and communities.

Clients choose us – and we choose them – because of our brand principles and values.

  • “The project exceeded my expectations. It was great to see the community centre being activated again. It was great to work in collaboration together, express my opinion and nice to be listened to and encouraged. It was good to have autonomy within the group especially when leading and designing The Green Festival!”

    JATINDER GREWAL, COMMUNITY CHAMPION

  • “Having worked alongside Neil, I’ve experienced first-hand how he designs and develops innovative, young person focused projects, built on the foundation of respect. He is emotionally invested in the cause and the people he is providing the service too, he builds lasting relationships with businesses and young people, connecting the two perfectly”.

    DIAN SMALL, REGIONAL DIRECTOR OF THE ROYAL INSTITUTE OF BRITISH ARCHITECTS.

  • “Being part of LBC helped me explore certain creative aspects such as podcasting and hosting. I got to know people who live in the community which was great for personal development through gaining an understanding of people.”

  • Beyond The Box is an extraordinary organisation that does a wonderful job of working on co-design with communities and architects.

Thanks for all the help and guidance!
