Here are some comments from a range of groups and organisations we have worked with.
"We were delighted to have Seeds for Change deliver a workshop at our National Student Conference for Palestine. Their expertise in building and maintaining strong organising groups is essential for the student movement for Palestine, and those who attended found it engaging and took away many skills to bring back to their campuses. We encourage all student organisers to reach out to them for a workshop!"
"Saturday was f*cking awesome. A ginormous thank you to you both for making the trip and facilitating a whole day's worth of discussions and workshops, and for all the work that you did in the run-up to ensure that what we did would actually draw out important ideas that serve the network, that everything would flow and make sense, and that all would be complete with colourful printed materials."
"The Network for Police Monitoring brings together activists, organisers, legal professionals and researchers to support communities and social movements facing repressive and discriminatory policing. Netpol has worked with Seeds for Change several times over the years, and have recommended them to several movement allies. Seeds for Change took time to really get to know our staff and volunteers, and have helped us to navigate everything from campaign strategy to staff welfare and decision making. It's a pleasure to work with a team who put their radical politics and inclusive values into practice when designing and delivering workshops and meetings. Can't recommend them highly enough!"
"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."
"The strategy day delivered by Seeds for Change was a great opportunity for Tottenham Copwatch to come together and work on its vision for the next year and beyond. They showed us models of different strategies, and explained ideas about capacity planning that were really informative for a growing group (which was a couple of years old but had begun organising more consistently for 6 months). It came at an important juncture for us. As a result of the day, we have become closer and feel greater trust with one another. We worked on ideas and tactics for our first campaign around resisting local policing legislation, a campaign which mobilised a significant local response. We were able to draft a manifesto and are planning a second strategy day to finalise our manifesto and continue the thinking we started. We really appreciated the facilitators flexibility as they reorganised the day with an openness to our specific needs."
"Working with Seeds for Change has been such a positive experience for our team. The workshops were not only really engaging and practical, but also gave us tools and approaches that we could immediately apply in our everyday work and collaboration. Beyond the skills we learned, the sessions helped us feel closer as a team and reconnect with a shared sense of purpose and commitment to one another. Becks created such a thoughtful, supportive, and welcoming space for discussion and reflection, and we’re really looking forward to continuing our sessions together in the future."
"Seeds for Change ran a workshop on facilitation for our members involved in our organising groups. The training very nicely set up people up to start facilitating for the first time - which many have since done - as well as brush up on those skills for others. The training was practical, engaging and accessible, giving members tools they could immediately put into practice. Becks made a very inclusive, encouraging environment that gave our members a lot of confidence in themselves. It was a pleasure to work alongside Becks and Seeds for Change."
"Seeds for Change delivered a series of training sessions for a cohort of NSUN members. The training covered a lot of ground (strategy, facilitation, governance, fundraising) but it still felt well-paced and offered the right amount of depth. Anya, Becks and Shaz are dynamic facilitators and a pleasure to work with. They created a supportive environment where everyone was comfortable participating, and sessions were thoughtfully designed to meet small grassroots groups where they are. Overall it's been an incredibly valuable experience, and participants have come away with new skills, clarity and confidence."
"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!"
"Advice and support from Seeds for Change has been of a consistently high standard: insightful, clear and relevant. We have always found them to provide an impressive understanding of our situation — a small workers' co-op — and the support has been tailored accordingly. Each time we are given the necessary time and space to explore the issue, balanced with perceptive, practical and helpful advice. Where issues were difficult to disentangle or understand, this was skilfully and sensitively drawn out."
"We had a fantastic workshop delivered by Seeds for Change on our new organisational values; what they mean in practice and how we can uphold them. Right from the start, we appreciated how warm and giving the facilitators were to identify the specifics of our situation and work and what we were looking for. They put a huge amount of work into planning a tailored workshop for us, designing specific scenarios and role play to make the day interactive and engaging. Becks and Shaz were personable and responsive to our questions and led the discussions skillfully and tactfully. They handled different opinions well and kept us on track with the agenda. The day was a great success, with great feedback from many in attendance. Thank you so much Seeds for Change for your support!"
"We are a group of people who had never campaigned against anything before and we're trying to stop a massive holiday park being built on an area so special it has 8 different ecological protections! Seeds for Change worked with us early on to help us plan our campaign aims, activities and how we'd work / communicate with each other. As the campaign has progressed they've supported us with media training and facilitated trickier meetings for us. Seeds for Change are brilliant, they are very experienced campaigners and share that with people by facilitating useful, engaging workshops. They've helped make our campaign super impactful."
"Partisan Collective is a volunteer-run space for independent, community-led DIY and cultural projects. During a series of workshops with Partisan staff and its members Seeds for Change has helped to connect loose ends, make informed decisions on structuring the organisation and given invaluable governance expertise to Partisan as a whole and workshop participants. Each Seeds for Change facilitator shared their individual specialism with empathy, great knowledge and professionalism tailored to our organisation's needs. The atmosphere during the online sessions was open and welcoming. The outcomes of the training will have a long-lasting positive effect on the operation of our organisation and inspired optimism and confidence."
"I'm writing a narrative non-fiction book about how a small online A.A. group regained its footing and formed a new group after it was voted out of its home group. The group held eight weeks of Saturday meetings, during which fifty-four people chose consensus over majority rule and wrote a new community into existence from scratch. I began looking for guidance to help us and quickly found your organization. I read your "Consensus Decision Making: a short guide" on your website and was inspired to download the PDF and bring it to our group leaders. We adopted essential parts of the process you describe in our eight formation meetings. Our members were thrilled with the inclusiveness, honesty, and integrity we all experienced, and have remained inspired as we continue to grow and implement what we learned."
