Services
We support organisations and communities with advisory, coaching, capacity development and delivery services covering the following areas:
Capacity Development
We run professional training sessions that connect together the services we offer and areas we work in. These trainings can be tailored to specific audience, context, needs and budget.
We specialise in delivering engaging training courses on:
- mission-led community change and innovation
- neighbourhood regeneration
- community energy
- just transitions and new economics
- community placemaking
- regenerative bioeconomies.
We believe that using mission-led approaches is a powerful way to help unlock radical change for our communities. A mission-led approach forces us to focus on doing what must be done to respond to the challenges facing us, rather than limiting ourselves to presumptions about what we think can be done. This is an important shift in mindset and approach, but it is hard. So we offer an intensive 2-day Masterclass in Mission-led Community Change. Check our news page for more info on upcoming editions.
