Centres of Influence
At imabi, we believe that safety and support should be available to everyone, everywhere. We’re proud to partner with a range of influential organisations, communities, and advocates who share our commitment to fostering safer, more inclusive environments. Together, we’re building a network of Centres of Influence that amplifies our reach and impact, ensuring that imabi’s tools and resources benefit as many people as possible. Here’s how we work with each centre to make a difference—and how they can help support imabi’s mission:
Typical Centres of Influence
Centres of Influence (COIs) are key individuals, organisations, or groups within a community or industry that hold significant credibility, trust, and the ability to influence others. These centres are often the linchpins of social, professional, or cultural networks, acting as gatekeepers or amplifiers for information, ideas, and initiatives.
Whether through their expertise, leadership, or connections, COIs have the power to shape opinions, mobilise communities, and drive meaningful change.
imabi has relationships with multiple types of COIs below ar ethe typical areas we work with.

Schools, colleges, and universities are at the heart of our mission to empower young people and create safer learning environments.

By supporting students with accessible resources, we help to foster a culture of respect, awareness, and proactive safety.
