Growth Pillar is an innovative and holistic entity geared to catalyse sustainable development and foster both individual and community resilience to environmental, systems and technological change through on-going research, evidence-based strategic policy analysis, programmatic innovation, and provision of technical assistance and enabling resources.

We work with a diverse portfolio of clients including corporate enterprises, financial institutions, public sector bodies, non-governmental organizations, families, and individuals.

Our multidisciplinary team brings together extensive local and international experience, sector-specific expertise, and a deep understanding of the dynamics shaping both local and global contexts. We pride ourselves on delivering high-quality, customized solutions through rigorous, participatory, and context-sensitive approaches.

Growth Pillar addresses complex and interrelated challenges through its integrated programs across research, entrepreneurship, agribusiness, and wellness. Here are the key challenges it solves:

1. Lack of Data-Driven Decision Making and Strategic Policy Implementation • Insufficient use of evidence in decision-making: Many organizations and policymakers operate without solid data, leading to ineffective programs and missed opportunities. • Disconnect between policy and implementation: Even well-designed policies often fail due to poor contextual understanding or weak execution mechanisms. • Inefficient use of development funding: Donor and public sector investments can be wasted without clear targeting or robust monitoring systems.

2. Entrepreneurial Barriers and Limited Business Growth • Early-stage business failure and stagnation: Many entrepreneurs struggle with refining their ideas, accessing funding, and building resilient models. • Lack of access to strategic guidance: Startups and SMEs often operate without experienced mentorship or market insights. • Youth unemployment and underemployment: Limited job opportunities leave young people disengaged and economically vulnerable.

3. Agricultural Underperformance and Climate Vulnerability • Low agricultural productivity and outdated practices: Smallholder farmers often lack access to modern technologies and inputs. • Lack of climate resilience: Climate change threatens food systems, but many farmers are unprepared to adapt. • Underutilization of innovation in agribusiness: Traditional farming systems often lack access to digital tools and innovative approaches.

4. Poor Mental Health, Well-being, and Social Support • Neglect of mental and emotional well-being: Individuals and teams frequently lack access to mental health support, leading to stress, burnout, and reduced performance. • Limited awareness and uptake of wellness services: Mental health remains stigmatized or under-prioritized in many cultures and workplaces.

5. Fragmented Development and Siloed Sector Approaches • Lack of integrated, cross-sector solutions: Development efforts often operate in silos, leading to inefficiencies and limited impact. • Weak collaboration among stakeholders: Governments, NGOs, and private entities often lack coordination and synergy. • Barriers to inclusive development: Marginalized groups frequently remain excluded from innovation, entrepreneurship, and social services.

Through our multidisciplinary team, we offer services in the following areas:

1. Research, Policy, Innovation and Development: We drive impact through evidence-based research, strategic policy analysis, and innovative development solutions. We generate actionable insights across sectors such as health, agribusiness, human development, and entrepreneurship; empowering clients with data-driven and proven approaches that foster informed decision-making and sustainable growth.

We provide tailored support to refine ideas, overcome challenges, and scale sustainably.

3. Agribusiness and Agricultural Development: We support agricultural transformation through innovative, sustainable, and market-driven solutions. We help clients enhance productivity, adopt climate-smart and resilient practices, and unlock opportunities across the agribusiness value chain. Our services align with global food security goals, contributing to resilient farming systems and inclusive growth in rural and agricultural communities.

4. Social, Health and Wellness: We promote holistic well-being by addressing the social, emotional, and physical health needs of individuals, families, and teams. We offer personalized support to improve mental wellness, strengthen relationships, and enhance productivity; by helping clients navigate challenges, build resilience, and lead healthier, more balanced lives at home, school, work, and beyond.

About Ygam

Ygam is the UK’s leading charity dedicated to preventing gaming and gambling harms among young people. Our work bridges the critical knowledge gap between young people’s digital lives and the adults who guide them. We believe in harm prevention through education, empowering the people who can make a real difference.

Through our award-winning portfolio of programmes and resources, we help build awareness and resilience, helping to guide young people to thrive in the digital age. Inspired by lived experience and grounded in robust evidence, our City & Guilds-assured training is enriched by a comprehensive library of practical resources, fostering a growing community dedicated to safeguarding the well-being of future generations. Since the charity was founded in 2014, Ygam has reached nearly 5 million children and young people, training over 28,000 delegates.

About the role

With significant policy changes underway—including the introduction of the Online Safety Act, Ofcom’s Children’s Code, and reforms to gambling legislation such as the new statutory levy to fund treatment, prevention, and research—Ygam has a crucial opportunity to be a leading voice in shaping this new era of regulation and safeguarding.

As we enter the fourth year of our “Safeguarding our Digital Generation” strategy, we’re seeking visionary leader to join our board and help shape the future of harm prevention in this field. This is a unique opportunity to contribute to a vital cause at a critical time when digital safeguarding has never been more important.

The Chair will work closely with the Interim CEO, SLT, and Board of Trustees to ensure we continue to deliver maximum impact while maintaining the highest standards of governance.

Who we are looking for

This position requires an individual with excellent board, corporate strategy and leadership experience combined with the strategic acumen to help drive Ygam’s ambitious growth plans. Additionally, someone with a background in lobbying or politics would be advantageous.

We are also seeking someone who can balance strategic oversight with practical governance experience, ensuring Ygam continues to evolve and adapt to emerging challenges.

The ideal candidate will share our passion for safeguarding and educating young people while bringing their own unique insights to enhance our work. You’ll bring commercial awareness and strategic thinking, alongside expert knowledge and experience in raising the profile of organisations through high-level networking, stakeholder engagement, and government relations—all while helping to drive our ambitions forward and keeping our focus firmly on delivering impact.

If you’re ready to lead with purpose and help shape the future of the charity, we encourage you to get involved!
