About us

Substance is a research and technology company that makes organisations that do good, think smarter – and make more of a difference. We work across different sectors and with many types of organisations – charities, social businesses and government. Our core team is made up of highly-experienced social researchers, technologists and programme managers, each with their own specialisms. What we share is an ambition to make organisations that do good have a greater impact. We give organisations the framework, tools and insight they need to increase understanding and the impact of their work. We do this by conducting research and creating new technologies that give organisations a better picture of their work. This could be through a app, a research project or a social audit of your organisation. We work collaboratively and imaginatively to create products and services that are right for each organisation and the people that work there.

  • 🎉 Introducing the Views Referral Program: Rewarding Our Clients for Sharing Success! 🎉 Earlier this year, when we analysed the results of our 2023 Views Annual Survey, one standout insight was clear: a significant number of respondents expressed that they would recommend Views to other charities and colleagues. 💡 With so many clients sharing how beneficial Views has been to their organisations, we wanted to give back and support the community promoting us. We also looked at how our new clients in 2023 discovered Views, and the results were equally encouraging: a large portion joined us through referrals from existing clients. That’s why we’re excited to launch our new Referral Program! Here's how it works: 🔹 Refer a new client to Views, and you’ll receive 15% off your next license renewal. 🔹 Keep referring? You’ll continue to stack discounts—and if you refer enough new clients, you could even get your annual renewal for free! It’s that simple. No hidden conditions, just a straightforward way to say thank you for your support. As long as the clients you refer sign up for a full year, your discount will be applied to your next renewal.
