OKRE

Who we are

OKRE (Opening Knowledge Across Research & Entertainment) is a charity operating as a catalyst for impactful storytelling. We support the creation of popular entertainment which challenges perceptions, breaks down complex social issues and helps to make a positive impact on culture, attitudes, beliefs and behaviours. OKRE operates as a centre of excellence for organisations seeking to understand and engage with the entertainment industries; we cultivate thought leadership, surface best practices and foster valuable connections across sectors. Our unique position at the intersection of the entertainment industries, academic research, lived experience and the charity sector enables us to work with commissioners and producers to develop compelling entertainment that appeals to their audiences while increasing their understanding of the world. 

OKRE has a small team with a wide remit. We are a start-up organisation with ambitious growth plans, and a new senior leadership team now in place to deliver them.   

OKRE is a spin out charity from Wellcome, building on its award-winning work across broadcast, games and film.
