Help Collaboratory trial a new Change-Making Skills workshop designed with and for community organisations
Online interactive workshop. Tuesday 1st July 2025. 10am-1pm.
About the workshop
Do you work in a grassroots or community organisation and want to tackle a challenge you’re facing in a practical way? This session is designed to help you pause, reflect, and work through a real issue your organisation is facing. Using tried-and-tested approaches, you’ll learn how to:
✅ Understand the root of your challenge, your organisations current performance and impact
✅ Break the challenge down into manageable parts
✅ Explore different ways of approaching it
✅ Identify possible solutions that work in your real-world context
✅ Bring this all together to make an evidenced case for change
Bring a real challenge you’re facing—big or small—and we’ll work through it together in a supportive group setting. You’ll leave with greater clarity on your challenge and a series of practical next steps.
This workshop is for people working or volunteering in grassroots, local, or community/civic-based organisations. No prior experience or training is needed—just curiosity and a willingness to reflect.
Further details
This workshop has been developed through direct input from local community and civic organisations in Nottinghamshire, as part of the Collaboratory Research Hub’s ongoing work to support evidence-based change for local communities.
As part of our work to refine and improve this free workshop resource, attendees will be asked for feedback on their experience during the session. This will help us to further refine and improve the workshop before it is made more widely available.
To thank you for your participation and contributions, attendees will be offered a £30 high street voucher.
