Who we work with
We work with people-powered movements that work across economic, social and environmental issues.
The outcomes we want to see are:
-
A sustainable world - with regenerative economies, industries and environments
-
Stronger communities and movements, getting the resources and recognition they need so they can focus on creating the societies they want to live in
-
A growing consensus around the ways to achieve sustainable development and the essential contribution that movements make
The Movements Trust welcomes applications from:
-
Informal and unincorporated groups, as well those that are registered/constituted (e.g. CICs)
-
Movements formed of at least 3 people, and individuals if you are working in partnership with others - but above all, with the power or aspiration to reach many more
-
Movements with little or no existing resource, and those experiencing barriers or exclusions
-
Movements who use influencing approaches that are charitable activities. In other words, non-violent organizing and awareness raising, and nothing party-political
We support movements who are working towards a sustainable society, for example:
-
Working for systems change that will create a more sustainable world and encourage a move away from practices that extract from the environment, exploit people, damage the environment, and limit our resources
-
Working with others to develop practical or innovative ideas about a better future, and one that champions a sustainable world, where all people meet their need for just work, housing, health, education, environment and communities
-
Working locally, nationally or globally
-
Or working on something we haven’t thought of yet!
