streatwise knowledge
Back in 2007 when we were undertaking initial research to set up STREAT we stumbled upon a number of amazing social enterprise ‘failure’ case studies commissioned by REDF in San Francisco. These case studies became invaluable in informing key decisions we made during STREAT’s start-up. They also helped inspire our commitment to fearless knowledge sharing.
Right from the outset we’ve undertaken nearly 100 research projects with a host of universities, students and organisations. These projects have ranged from undergrad student projects to PhDs to large, multi-year ARC-funded research projects with teams of academics. We’ve also shared our stories and learnings in talks and podcasts, a bunch of them being included here too.
We hope the sharing of this knowledge might help with your own impact work.

Streat’s story so far
A shared meal brings people together, to connect and to drive a sense of belonging. STREAT so far has been a decade of deep breaths and big decisions: “It’s undoubtedly the bravest and craziest thing we’ve done to date,” Rebecca Scott and Kate Barrelle, Co-Founders of STREAT.
