Mind the Gap was founded in 1995 by Scott Jones. The original aim was to build local and international capacity for managing environmental conflicts, and to explore peace-building more broadly. Over the years, clients have requested other work, and we now deliver a wide range of research, consultancy, and bespoke training.
We are also asked to facilitate complex programmes, retreats, or conflict management processes where many different stakeholders’ views need to be included. We now undertake more projects and programme evaluations, and consultancy in governance and project management. Our UK work has expanded to include industry and businesses, as well as the strategic partnership work we have always done with local authorities, government agencies and communities.
We set aside a percentage of our income as a ‘fighting fund’ that enables us to work for social benefit projects in Scotland and internationally. Our international voluntary efforts concentrate on supporting young refugees through school, and the leadership of women and young people in conflict management and peace building.
