OrgBuilders 2024

Strong and resilient organisations are the foundation of lasting social movements. This year-long programme of coaching, practical support and guidance, and structured peer support, supplemented by our detailed toolkits, will support you to identify your organisational goals and priorities and put them into action. It is designed for social justice organisations at early and growth stages or those in a period of transformation who are looking to make changes and improvements to ways of working.

opening quote
OrgBuilders has been enriching for both the organisation & for me individually. It has given us the grounding & sense of stability that we really needed, especially at a time of growth and change. The coaching in particular was instrumental in getting us through all the doubts & fear that comes from trying to organise from a starting structure.
