Improving lives and transforming futures through impactful communications.
Since Perceptive launched in 2006, we’ve supported a range of charities on a pro-bono basis to help them achieve their goals.
This includes Action for Children, Cancer Card, Glasgow Children’s Hospital Charity, Simpsons Special Care Babies and Simon Community Scotland, helping them supercharge their life-changing work.
We have a clearly defined mission to support initiatives and organisations that improve lives and transform futures. Our improving lives initiative focuses on charities working to alleviate child poverty, tackle homelessness and improve health outcomes.
Improving Lives 2026
In 2026, we took a new approach to our Improving Lives initiative, bringing 10 charities together at our Glasgow office for a dedicated day of free, expert-led communications training.
Every member of the Perceptive team dedicated their time to delivering practical sessions covering media and messaging, public affairs, networking and social media, equipping attendees with skills and advice to help amplify their reach and impact.
We were delighted to support Early Years Scotland, Talbot Association, Cancer Card, Include Me 2 Club, The Wave Project, Radio Lollipop, Children 1st, Epilepsy Scotland, Rosemount Lifelong Learning and SAY Women..
Together, these organisations are making a difference to people across Scotland, including through work tackling homelessness and child poverty and improving physical and mental health outcomes.
More than £50,000 of support
Over the past five years, Perceptive has provided the equivalent of £10,000 each year in pro-bono support to charities, taking our contribution to more than £50,000.
It’s part of our wider commitment to using our communications expertise to support organisations making a tangible difference to people’s lives and communities.
What our charities say
Michael O’Neill, Director of Development and Deputy CEO of Talbot Association, said: “Working in the third sector can sometimes feel lonely, especially when you’re trying to keep services running through challenging times. Having people willing to share their time, knowledge and experience makes a real difference.
“The team at Perceptive were welcoming, understood the pressures we face and gave us practical ideas we can use. We came away feeling encouraged and more confident about sharing our story and the work we do. We’re really grateful for their support.”
