Giving you the knowledge to drive change

Power sharing

We are curious about how social change is happening, hosting a constant, evolving conversation about how to unleash social power. By bringing change–makers together to deepen our shared understanding, we generate insights and tools to help others.

We explore examples of change to see what makes them succeed or fail. We commission and support projects to explore particular aspects of change in depth. If you are a change-maker, these resources are created by and for you.

Building confident campaigning governance

– new offer for trustees

Our recent research with Governance & Leadership magazine found that support for campaigning amongst trustees is high, but levels of confidence do not match.

In response, SMK has produced a free short guide for trustees called  Navigating charity campaigning that points to five essential conversations board should have to develop confident campaigning governance. It can be used alone, or as the starting point for a board conversation guided by SMK. Our one-hour or three-hour sessions will help boards explore campaign governance together. 

Take the first step to building campaigning governance confidence in your organisation. Register your interest by emailing SMK Head of Programmes Kath Christie.

Changemakers’ Toolkit 

With the support of Wikimedia UK, SMK has launched an open access toolkit to empower people to campaign effectively. 

We know that campaigners, activists, and changemakers of all types are stepping up to address injustices, improve conditions in their communities, and draw attention to neglected issues. That’s why we’ve launched the Changemakers’ Toolkit, a free online training resource.

Read our joint blog here to find out more about this unique collaboration.
