Every
community
has a story
Find your story, use your power.
Every community has its own story.
We help harness the power of those stories to make change happen locally and nationally.
Our projects inspire local creativity and action to show what communities want their future to look like – and our experts work to change the rules and laws that hold them back
We are a collaboration of campaigners, lawyers, planners, facilitators, writers and scientists who are fed up, angry and want to use our skills to do SOMETHING.
We are united by a shared commitment to tackle the Climate Emergency and ready to find a way to work with you to make change.
We know we have to work at national level with law and policy-makers (which can often be very frustrating). We also know that working with you, in your communities, is just as important. We want to arm you with knowledge, help amplify your voice, and make sure you are heard… in as creative a way as possible.
We are grounded in the values of equity, diversity, and inclusion—amplifying the voices of those most impacted and ensuring everyone has a seat at the table.
We are WITH people and FOR people & the environment.
