Helping campaigners to thrive
In a free and hopeful society, people need to know they have the power to make a difference: that they are able to envisage change and can push for that change to happen.
For nearly two decades, we have helped all sorts of individuals, causes and charities to find their power as changemakers – as campaigners.
What we exist to do
And we see the difference it makes. The people we’re lucky enough to come into contact with – through our training, our awards, our research and our networks – do extraordinary things. They dream of a different world, and then they bring it about.
They inspire us, and others, to hold on to the hope that comes from knowing that change is possible.
Our training, consultancy, free tools and resources can help you campaign more effectively
Join our community, share knowledge, offer mutual support and be part of SMK’s research and annual Awards.
Our work ensures your right to campaign is valued and protected.
