We create and deliver programmes which build bridges between communities, practitioners and organisations that do not traditionally work together to influence change, share learning and support wellbeing. All done with our heart and soul through two strands of work:
We work with communities to enable transformation and creation of new and existing spaces; that centre and build capacity for community knowledge and power. Through creating immersive workshop experiences, events, pop-ups, meanwhile and community spaces, that support communities to demonstrate new possibilities. Our past work has included working with local authorities and communities to bring building assets into community use, co-designing how spaces are used and enabling communities to run spaces.
We create engagement programmes which convene communities and organisations who do not traditionally work together, to enable more equitable working relationships. We bring a certain ‘magic’ to policy development by testing and developing new ways of working that are shaped with communities as the experts of their places and spaces.
We create environments for people to thrive and develop the environments that they want around them; this might be environments to exchange learnings or environments that enable power-sharing. We do this by going where people are to build trust or create new spaces that support people to think and practice beyond boundaries.
Create spaces for healing, peace, connection and celebration through retreats and healing spaces to renew and uplift community practitioners and changemakers: known as Sankofa Gatherings.
We inspire and support communities and organisations to step outside their normal ways of working, to think differently, and test new approaches to partnership. This plants seeds wherever we go and creates sustainable change beyond our working relationships.
