More than 100 charities have signed up to help with a new project to identify how the sector delivers social change, and now other charities are being asked to help.
The Social Change Project, launched to the wider public earlier this week by the Sheila McKechnie Foundation, is a 15-month initiative intended to identify the barriers to social change.
Charities which have already come on board include Save the Children, RNIB and the NSPCC, but the foundation is keen to attract as many charities as possible.
Since the start of the year, a series of workshops have already identified a number of “burning issues” which will form the basis for discussion.
These include:
- Models of social change – knowing what works
- Making better use of the law
- Unlocking the power of people
- Collaborations – coalitions, networks and alliances
- Moral purpose, ethics and integrity
- Organisations structures, governance and leadership
A final series of recommendations will be published in the spring of 2018.
