Anna Ritchie
Caseworker
I'm part of the mission support team, working with those who go up onto the platform. My background is in anthropology and I’ve done research in Tanzania and Honduras on the politics of social movements and the power of communities.

I’ve been interested in social enterprises for a long time, and how they’re creating innovative solutions for complex global issues - and this brought me to Beam! It’s really exciting to be on the frontline with our members throughout their whole Beam journey and see what they go on to achieve.

Often people experience difficult lives. These do not disappear when they come to Beam. Instead, we believe by offering new opportunities and the right support, they can take that all-important step into skilled work. But sometimes a person’s situation changes and it’s in their best interests to end their journey with Beam.
