People & Planet
"People & Planet are the largest student network in the UK campaigning for social and climate justice. We needed to call in an external facilitator to support us to build our skills and confidence around online workshops, and to ensure that they are as accessible and inclusive as possible. The training was incredible in that not only did it deliver on these needs, but the facilitation of the workshop itself taught us what made a great workshop: clearly structured, time bounded, space created for wider discussion, suitable for a range of learning styles and use of a range of tools to make for an interactive and engaging experience. Following our training with Seeds for Change we feel much more confident in our ability to plan, deliver and evaluate our online workshops. Thanks so much!"

"Working with SfC was such a pleasure. They really took the time to understand our needs and plan a tailored workshop to meet them. I trusted and respected their process, and really enjoyed the sessions themselves. I feel it has loosened a lot of knots with us as a group and built trust. It is already clearer and easier to work in our subgroups! We naturally weren't going to get everything we needed done in two afternoons(!) but it was fantastic to be given really clear follow up steps for us to continue after. Couldn't recommend them enough."
Richard Hawkins, Public Interest Research Centre
“Seeds for Change’s training is simply excellent; an important step towards a more just, democratic and sustainable future.”
Workshop Organiser, Reclaim the Power
“Seeds for Change are a vital and precious resource for the movement for progressive social change. All of the trainers I’ve worked with are highly skilled, competent trainers as well as being genuinely lovely people. Becks and Sharon helped us create a four day program of workshops, delivered them excellently and empowered our group to go out and
take action together – the feedback from everyone was highly positive. I’d recommend them to anyone.”
Radical Routes, Financial literacy training
“An outstanding 4-hour training session for the Radical Routes Trading Co-ops Network – aimed at people who are just setting up or who have been in co-ops for a while, but haven’t really ever understood the accounts. It was very useful for me as someone who’s kind of OK to read figures, but wouldn’t be confident in making decisions based on what i was seeing there. People were surprised how fast the time went, there was group work looking at accounts, a glossary quiz to help people distinguish between similar sounding things, lots of clever use of flip charts, and a role play with chocolate buttons that went down extremely well. They coped very well with having over 30 people instead of the 20ish they planned for. They took nothing for granted, encouraged stupid questions and made sure everyone was with them throughout."
Eden Ventures, Consensus decision making workshop
“The Seeds of Change workshop really helped me think about why consensus is important for all the work I do and gave us tools to think more deeply about consensus. Rhiannon facilitated well, following our needs and ideas. A really inspiring session.”
