Together we spark lasting change

What we do

We find, support, and connect an intergenerational community of changemakers rethinking and reshaping the systems around young people. We nurture them as people, and as a collective, showing a new way is possible. Together we spark lasting change.

We nurture a diverse, purpose-driven community.

What I really value about Big Change is the way we fully embrace the things that are often overlooked and underfunded. The 'difficult to define' bits. We think about the nuanced conditions needed to help young people thrive.

Why we do it

The old ways are not working. Young people are unprepared for their futures, too often lack purpose and direction, and they feel disconnected and powerless. The issues they face in society are deep-rooted and interconnected. Yet most funding and energy goes into treating the symptoms of systemic failures rather than reimagining the possibilities for a better future. People and organisations are drawn to closing gaps or making incremental improvements to existing models. To ensure every young person is set up to thrive, the systems around them need to change. 

Help us support all young people, regardless of their background or circumstances, to thrive in life. Together we can spark lasting change.
