The Change Makers forums are designed to shine a light on the transformative work being undertaken in communities right now. Bringing people together who are passionate about change is truly inspiring. But it doesn’t have to be for just one night. To keep the conversation going and help spread the word, we’ve curated a range of videos and articles that build a more complete picture of the issues and the solutions. We hope you enjoy these resources. If you want to know more about how you can get involved, don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re here to help.
