Working Together for Community-Led Change

Whether it’s through co-design workshops, participatory mapping, collaborative planning, or shared learning spaces, we help create the conditions for open, inclusive, and creative collaboration. We support groups, organisations, and partnerships to work together in ways that build trust, shift power, and lead to more grounded, sustainable outcomes.

Supporting co-design, co-production, and meaningful participation

This isn’t about one-size-fits-all solutions. It’s about building relationships, honouring lived experience, and working together to shape the futures we want to see.

Facilitated Co-production

Real transformation — social, economic, and ecological — happens when communities and partners come together to shape their futures. We support this by creating spaces for genuine collaboration, where diverse voices are heard, and local knowledge leads the way. Through facilitated co-production, we help align people around a shared purpose, showing the value and impact that can be achieved when everyone contributes and decisions are made together.

Working Partnerships

Strong partnerships are at the heart of meaningful community development and placemaking. We champion cooperative and collaborative ways of working that put people first — approaches that prioritise wellbeing, build local wealth, and ensure that benefits are shared fairly. By supporting structures rooted in trust, mutual accountability, and shared ownership, we help create the conditions for lasting impact — where communities and partners grow stronger together.

Equitable Participation

Real social change begins with inclusion. When people feel heard, valued, and able to shape decisions that affect their lives, better solutions emerge — and those solutions last. We support initiatives to embed models like Sociocracy that promote shared leadership, equal participation, and ongoing learning. By creating structures where everyone has a voice and decisions are made collectively, we help communities build stronger relationships, deeper trust, and more sustainable outcomes.

Placemaking That Lasts

A Three-Phase Approach for Resilient and Evolving Communities

We see community development and placemaking not as a one-off intervention, but as a living, evolving process. Our three-phase methodology supports communities to grow their capacity, put ideas into action, and adapt to whatever comes next. It’s a continuous cycle of connection, collaboration, and renewal — designed to build lasting change from the ground up.

Generating - Laying the groundwork for collective action

This phase focuses on building strong relationships, sparking participation, and creating a shared sense of purpose. We help bring people together early, ensuring the community is deeply involved in co-designing the vision and shaping what comes next.
Making - Bringing plans to life, together

Here, ideas move into action. We support the delivery process through inclusive structures and practical governance that keep everyone involved and accountable. By aligning the right people, tools, and resources, we help ensure collaboration stays strong throughout implementation.
Keeping - Sustaining momentum and growing what works

The final phase focuses on embedding what’s been built into everyday life. We help communities transition to ongoing stewardship — building the confidence, capacity, and connections needed to keep evolving, responding to new opportunities, and leading their own future.
