Extras
The people trying to help the world need somewhere to decompress, think clearly, and reconnect with their purpose. Somewhere to do that alongside others who understand exactly what the work costs.
Not a training programme, a one-off workshop or another thing to consume alone and implement in isolation. A genuine ongoing community: where the work of becoming more resilient, more effective, and more connected to why you do this happens together.
We believe joy is strategy, not reward, and that inner resilience isn't a luxury. It's the foundation everything else is built on. People do their best work when they feel grounded, accompanied, and genuinely seen.
Invest in the people doing the work
You already know your sustainability team carries something most workplaces don't fully account for.
You'll recognise what the cost looks like before it arrives. The high performer who starts missing deadlines. The campaigner who becomes quietly cynical. The person who used to bring the room alive, who now just gets through the week. And then the resignation letter that shouldn't have surprised anyone.
Standard wellbeing programmes treat these challenges as a generic stress management problem. It isn't. The pressures sustainability and social change professionals face are specific: the slowness of change against the urgency of the mission; moral weight; systems complexity; the emotional weight of the stakes.
The Change:Maker Collective is built for that reality.
The Real Cost of Losing Someone Good
BEFORE THEY LEAVE
Depletion shows up long before departure
A person running on empty produces a fraction of what they're capable of- the output gap starts months before the resignation letter
THE WIDER EFFECT
Disillusionment is contagious
One burned-out team member changes the culture around them, particularly in mission-driven teams where shared conviction is part of what makes the work possible.
THE REPLACEMENT PROBLEM
Technical skill is the easy part to rehire
Finding someone who combines deep sustainability knowledge with the emotional commitment to actually do the work- and then getting them up to speed- takes months.
WHAT WALKS OUT
Knowledge that was never written down
Relationships with stakeholders, understanding of your organisation's specific context, and the tacit knowledge that makes someone genuinely effective- gone.
A place at the Collective costs £950. The cost of losing one good person to this sector is multiples of that- and the cost of keeping a depleted one is harder to see but just as real.
What Your Investment Gives Them
Three sessions a week, each with a different purpose: inner practice on Monday, community and peer coaching on Wednesday, shared focus and momentum on Friday.
Plus a warm WhatsApp community between sessions, a library of tools and practices, and two personal 1:1 coaching calls with Joey and Sol in their first six months.
-
Real practices for managing the inner critic, regulating under pressure, and staying grounded in their purpose
-
Genuine peer connection with people who understand the specific mix of passion, pressure, and doubt this work produces
-
The experience of being known, not just professionally supported by a community that gets it
-
Somewhere that builds over time, with a monthly arc that gives the work shape and direction
What this means for your organisation
When you invest in a place for someone on your team, you're making a statement: that their inner life matters as much as their output. That you're thinking about their long-term sustainability, not just their current deliverables.
In practical terms: members report clearer thinking, steadier decision-making, and a stronger sense of purpose in their work. They stay in their roles longer. They bring more of themselves back to work. These are the things that are genuinely hard to measure and genuinely expensive to lose.
ONE SEAT
One seat per organisation,
by design
Your employee joins a community of peers from other organisations, which means they can be fully open.
About the pressures, the doubts, the harder realities of the work. Without the complications of colleagues in the room.
The psychological safety this creates is part of what makes the community work.
RECOGNITION
Named as a headline supporter
Your organisation is listed publicly as a supporter of the Collective.
This puts your name in front of a growing network of professionals, and signals something specific: that you understand the human cost of this work and invest in the people doing it.
In a sector where employer reputation shapes who you can attract and keep, that signal matters.
IMPACT
Your contribution goes further
Every organisational place helps us hold bursary spots for individuals who couldn't otherwise afford to join, extending your investment into the wider health of the sector, not just your own team.
Who We Are
We're Joey and Sol, co-founders of the Collective and the facilitators and coaches at its heart.
We've each lived the arc we're describing: careers in sustainability and social change, real periods of overwhelm and disillusionment, and a long process of finding a different way through.
Between us we bring over 25 years of coaching, mindfulness, breathwork, facilitation, and somatic practice, and lived knowledge of this specific terrain.
Secure A Place
Less than most single-day training events, with ongoing community, group sessions, and two personal 1:1 coaching calls across half a year.
The community now has real roots: real people, real results, real conversation.
The best next step is a 30-minute call. We'll answer your questions, hear about the person on your team you have in mind- or speak with them directly- and work out together whether this is the right fit. No obligation.
