Team, Culture and Strategy
Our team and our culture
We don’t just seek to change the outside world; at 38 Degrees, we’re a learning organisation – always looking to improve our team culture and how we do things. Change is constant. We are currently working through a transformational project, including a focus on culture, which complements the work we are doing to set a new strategic direction. It’s exciting, and it’s challenging. We are questioning who we are and how we work. We want to build a truly equitable foundation throughout our internal structures and our ways of working, and develop policies that support us in achieving our mission together. We aim to be a team where all voices are heard and valued, and in which different opinions are explicitly encouraged. We expect mistakes and learn from them together.
The 38 Degrees culture is collaborative, honest, courageous, and hard-working.
We move fast, and frequently change plans to respond to events.
We’re currently a team of 42 staff based in London, Edinburgh and elsewhere throughout the UK.
38 Degrees has historically had two offices: one in London and one in Edinburgh, and our team chose to work remotely fairly regularly. In the last year we’ve all worked remotely all the time, and acknowledge that we’ll return to the office in a hybrid model of some sort with office space and staff choosing to work remotely permanently, on an adhoc basis, or for about half the time.

Our strategy
In 2020 we began work to define our strategic direction for the next 5 years. We took a step back and looked at what we know about who supports us, the successes we’ve had and the world outside. Together with our supporters, we’re building a vision of what 38 Degrees could be – answering the questions – how can we work together to effect the most meaningful social change in the years ahead. It’s an exciting time to join us as we begin to put new strategic initiatives in play, pioneering new ways of effecting change.
