No one should be defined by their past

Why we exist

Many people experience profound personal transformation, through faith, recovery, education or simply the decision to live differently. Yet that change often goes unrecognised. Behaviour may have changed, but identity has not always been recognised by others, and people continue to face exclusion, suspicion or limited opportunities to belong and contribute.

We believe lasting transformation is not only personal. It becomes socially real when it is recognised, supported and sustained within community. Make Good Foundation exists to close that gap.

Our mission

To promote restoration, education, opportunity and human flourishing through research, scholarship, strategic partnership, public engagement and practical action.

Our vision

A society where transformation is recognised and sustained through restoration, identity and community, where every person's inherent dignity is honoured and people are welcomed into communities where they belong and contribute.

How we work

At the centre of everything we do is the RIC Framework: Restoration, Identity and Community. Around it, we bring together research, education, theology, lived experience and practical action through four areas of work: training, speaking and advisory, research through the Restoration Academic Institute, and scholarships and the MGF Academy.
