Work With Us
Together we can make organising a powerful practice for your work.
Partnerships are how we do our deepest work. When you partner with Act Build Change, we design training and hands-on support around your specific challenges – and walk alongside you for as long as you need us.
We partner with many organisations of all sizes – from grassroots collectives to national institutions. Read Our Work to find out more about what we do.
A partnership could look like:
- An organiser working alongside you to kickstart a campaign or build a local team.
- Training and coaching designed around your team’s specific challenges.
- Support to grow from an informal collective into an organised, sustainable team.
- Facilitation to build a powerful coalition and win change together.
Not ready for a partnership? You can take part in our live events, learn in your own time with our online courses, or join our membership to access everything for free whilst supporting our work.

- We will contact you within two weeks to book a short call about your context.
- If we’re a good fit, we’ll design a bespoke support package together.
We take on a limited number of partnerships, so please get in touch at least three months before you’d like the work to start.
Money should not be a barrier to reaching out. We offer tiered pricing to make our work accessible, especially for groups with turnovers under £200,000. When we design your proposal, we’ll match it to both your needs and your resources.
What our partners say
Act Build Change listens, pulls out and understands where all the complexity is, and then the training is shaped around us. The offer is more than just training. The shadowing, the mentoring, the coaching, the help: it is all about strengthening and learning the craft of organising in the context of where we are working. I have felt empowered to make decisions I would otherwise not have, I’ve been exposed to new ways of thinking, and I’ve been able to make a stand and push through boundaries.
Act Build Change are among the most thoughtful and committed partners we’ve worked with. As co-deliverers of the School for Everyday Democracy, they bring a rare combination of clarity about power and how change happens, alongside genuine relational care – and that shows up in the room with participants.
Their commitment to power-building isn’t rhetorical. They are seriously engaged with the craft of community organising – not just what it is, but how best to land it with people who are furthest from power. They work alongside people experiencing injustice not as service providers but as genuine allies.
They don’t oversell transformation or mistake activity for change. Instead, they work patiently to create the conditions in which people can develop real power – the kind that doesn’t just help individuals cope within unjust systems, but builds the collective agency needed to reshape them.
Act Build Change has provided exceptional support to our organisation during a critical stage of our development. Their support has gone far beyond standard training provision. Their work has helped us move beyond simply responding to immediate needs and towards organising around systemic issues affecting refugee and migrant communities. They have supported us to build confidence in participating in public life, campaigning around local issues affecting our communities, and developing collective leadership and community organising structures. [...] We are very grateful for their partnership and would strongly recommend their work.
