Chester

To educate more organisations, schoolchildren and the wider community about sustainability and how this can positively impact on all of our lives We believe that business should be a force for good in creating a more sustainable future for all inhabitants of the planet. This belief runs through the DNA of our organisation and we set high standards for ourselves to uphold to ensure that we operate in the same way we envisioned when we were founded. In addition to our own internal standards, we want to hold ourselves publicly accountable and promote a culture of transparency so that people know who we are when they work with us and what they can expect from us as an organisation. With this in mind, we have launched The Sustainability Academy with the clear intention of attaining B Corp status and from day 1, we are preparing the necessary requirements for our application so that we can be listed amongst other businesses that meet the highest standards of verified social and environmental performance, public transparency, and legal accountability to balance profit and purpose.

The Directory Of Social Change

the directory of social change

London

Charity Publications: From thoroughly researched funding directories to best practice management, you’ll find all you need to make your charity strongerSo you’re named after a book?! That’s right. It all started over 45 years ago at a kitchen table in Maida Vale, London, where Michael Norton our founder sat down to research and write ‘The Directory of Social Change’. A directory, the first of its kind, full of ideas, information and contacts for those wanting to explore alternatives for creating better communities and a better society. And then what? Four directories were published on community, education, housing and women. In 1977, Michael organised his first fundraising training and started publishing practical information on fundraising, marketing, management and legal issues for charities. In 1984, looking for a more sustainable source of income, Michael created the first “Guide to Company Giving” and then asked Luke FitzHerbert to create a “Guide to the Major Trusts”. This was how the Directory of Social Change started, adopting the principles of social enterprise in structuring how it operated and was funded.

Lone Design Club

lone design club

London

Lone Design Club was founded in May 2018 as the result of emerging international fashion + lifestyle brands uniting with like-minded businesses in rising up, taking control and shaping the future of retail. It started by creating short term concept stores appearing for 1-2 weeks at a time, first around London and then internationally, where designers are in-store telling you first-hand accounts of how the product was designed and made. Experiences and events followed, allowing designers an intimate outlet to tell their story and the audience a chance to interact with topics ranging from sustainable fashion to individual empowerment and entrepreneurship. Shortly after, Lone Design Club launched its online store, giving their community a new avenue to further relationships that is open 24/7. Both physical and digital platforms allow consumers to discover + shop from independent brands with traceable and mindful practices, selling exclusive and one of a kind items incomparable to that on the high street. To shop consciously, knowing the story behind every purchase.

Bike for Good is a charity and social enterprise which started in July 2010 in a small stall in Glasgow’s Barras market. With a few donated bikes, a cobbled-together tool kit and a team of volunteers with a huge amount of passion and drive, Bike for Good (then known as Glasgow Bike Shed) was born! We now have three thriving Community Hubs in Glasgow and an amazing team of 42 staff members and 50 + volunteers who are changing thousands of lives through cycling. We have a West Hub, a South Hub and a hub on Civic Street which you can read more about here. You can learn more about the members of our amazing team. Many of our wonderful volunteers have shared their experiences of working with Bike for Good through our online case studies. Bike for Good provides access to low cost but good quality bikes whilst diverting tonnes of waste from landfill. These bikes are kindly donated by members of the public and are then refurbished and sold in our two Community Hubs. Find out more about how to donate your bike. On average, our team of mechanics refurbish over 1000 bikes per year, diverting tonnes of waste from landfill while also providing access to affordable bikes to the public. Find out more about how to buy a refurbished bike. As well as the environmental impact of this work, the income from bike sales helps to fund our work in the community.

The Insight Centre: Delivering breakthrough innovation and change Your products, services and technologies have a limited lifetime...... Every product or service and the technologies upon which they are based, will one day become redundant due to: - a diminished market need, - a lack of natural or sustainable resources, or - a new innovative offering meeting the consumers' needs better and cheaper. The speed at which this occurs varies by industry but its inevitability is certain. In today's hyper-competitive global economy, the pace of this disruption to established products, services and technologies is ever increasing, futures are less certain. Your business will eventually have to drive breakthrough change or become its victim. The Insight Centre helps its clients to confront the process of 'Disruptive Breakthrough'. We have a portfolio of tools and processes underpinned by 20 years technical and change management experience in a wide range of industries and environments.
