Strategy, Changemaking and Campaigns

Organisation: Sheila McKechnie Foundation

The project: As an Associate at SMK, I deliver training and support clients with social change strategy. I was also invited to co-create a new Changemakers Toolkit to support people working in social change to develop a strategic approach centred around tools to support exploration of Cause, Capacity, Context and Collaboration, working towards an understanding of how a Theory of Change can help individuals and organisations to plan, prioritise and partner for transformational impact.

Impact:

• Refreshed and delivered an annual programme of open training for social change campaigners as well as training courses for individual clients
• Co-developed a Changemakers Toolkit to support individuals and teams to develop social change strategy

“Julia has done a great job helping SMK to develop a new guide to planning campaigns. She immediately got what we are trying to do and brought her substantial experience to bear. She’s given the work a huge boost and has brought energy, professionalism and a great deal of competence to the team. A joy to work with!” – Rob Abercrombie, Deputy Chief Executive
