“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed it is the only thing that ever has.”

Margaret Mead

 

History

RESULTS was started over 25 years ago by Sam Daley-Harris, a teacher in the United States, as a response to the many calls for the political will to end hunger.

He was inspired by a report from the National Academy of Sciences that said that the world possessed all of the resources, structures and technology to end hunger in a single generation, but that the political will to make it a priority was missing.

Sam set up the RESULTS network in 1980 to empower and encourage ordinary citizens to create that missing political will.

Today there are national RESULTS organisations in seven countries: USA, UK, Canada, Germany, Japan, Australia and Mexico. Each is a separate organisation in its own right, but we often work together on issues of particular importance.

RESULTS came to the UK in 1986 and there is now a network of groups around the country coordinated from the national office in Leamington Spa. To find out whether there is a RESULTS group in your community, and find out about getting involved, see the group list.
