At the moment we are a full-time team of 8 in London, with a steady flow of volunteers, interns and part-time support coming in to help out. In the future we hope there might be a few more, but we never see ourselves as being so vast we have people we can only refer to as "that girl with glasses in accounts". Around the world, and particularly in the USA, Australia, Spain, Germany, Austria and Uganda, we have all sorts of people working with us, and a few working for us, to run our campaigns, launch products and spread the word.
We also have very close relationships with a set of agencies and publishers, who help us make our stuff look really nice and work with us to launch our products. Closest of all and practically part of the family, is creative agency Antidote, who have been with us from day dot.
Our movement is made up of a social business (the We Are What We Do Community Interest Company) and a Charitable Foundation (the We Are What We Do Foundation). The business does all the making and selling of products, and services and when it generates profits they go to the Foundation, where we run all our education and community programmes. So, when you buy something from us, you get to contribute to social and environmental campaigns all over the world.
Our social business has income from products and services, like our Change the World books, speaking events and corporate partnerships. We have a range of supporters for our education and community work, including the Department for Children, Schools and Families, the Aldridge Foundation, v and the Health Improvement & Prevention Programme. We also receive legal support from Lyndales Solicitors and we are generously housed in central London by the Brunswick Group. Many other companies and organisations have supported us since we launched in 2004 - too many to list here - but we're massively grateful to every single one of them.

¡Ah sí! From Dismas Otoori's branch of We Are What We Do in Uganda, to the action tracking website we launched in Spain, to book launches in America, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Spain, and Germany we've got lots happening all over the world. We have a big new partnership with Coca Cola in Spain, where we're known as Somos Lo que Hacemos, and will be launching a new branch of our German brand, Wir Sind Was Wir Tun, in Austrian in Spring 2010.
