About


Imagine if social change initiatives were built from and within communities, rooted in accountability to those communities

Imagine if the non-profit ‘sector’ was flipped on its head ⁠— with the money and power in the hands of the people it’s meant to serve

Join an experiment to create a radical, practical new vision that’s urgently needed


There is widespread evidence of deep, persistent problems in the UK social change sector. There are some incredible exceptions, but generally we are are too often:
  • disconnected from communities
  • fragmented rather than joined up, less than the sum of our parts
  • limited at adapting and being dynamic in the face of change, even when it is needed most
  • struggling to address (or not addressing) issues around lack of equality, diversity and inclusivity
We want to explore and scope out what a totally different reality could be – not being tethered to how things already are or used to be, but instead with all options on the table.

What would it look like if…

…social change initiatives were built from and within communities, rooted in accountability to those communities?

…they were equipped to decide their own strategic priorities and deliver change?

…they were effective locally but also able to link up to address issues nationally and internationally?

We want to put some practical alternative models on the table – and uncover some real examples of what is already happening today to help bring it to life.
