Moving upstream to tackle root causes
Geoff Knott
Social action is not addressing root causes i.e. we are ministering downstream after people have hit problems, rather than trying to eliminate the causes of the problems in the first place. We need to go upstream.

Online - How to scale social innovations: forming strategic partnerships
@
Nesta. Too many promising social innovations fail to scale, often stalling at the pilot stage. Successful scaling often requires collaborative networks and partnerships that can support long-term growth and impact.
We’re exploring examples of successful strategic partnerships in social innovation as part of our ongoing series on scaling ideas. Drawing insights from our scaling toolkit, the conversation will unpack the practical realities of constructing partnerships across sectors, consider how organisations can shift from isolated efforts to highly integrated partnerships, explore methods for seamless knowledge transfer and discuss strategies for keeping diverse stakeholders aligned around a singular, mission-driven focus.
Whether you are a social innovator, charity leader, funder or policymaker, you will walk away with ideas and tools to apply to your own scaling efforts.

Online - Every Day Justice: Foundations for Social Action
@
God loves justice. This means that justice is also an important part of our discipleship, as we learn how to live like Christ and share the good news of His offer of forgiveness and reconciliation. Building relationships in our local community is a vital part of responding and sharing in God’s mission.
Justice and social action can often feel overwhelming or out of reach. but they don’t have to be. Over the course of the webinar, we’ll explore how justice can be a natural part of our everyday discipleship: rooted in prayer, Bible study and worship, outward looking to the needs of our local communities, and expressed through both small steps and bold actions.
This workshop is designed for anyone who wants to engage more deeply with God’s heart for justice and social transformation. You may be unsure about where to start or what this might look in practice. You may already be involved in social action projects or volunteering and are wondering how to embed justice more deeply into your everyday life, or wanting to cultivate a shared vision for justice within your church community. This workshop invites you to embrace a life of everyday justice, not necessarily by adding more to your plate, but by aligning your heart with God’s, and letting His love for justice shape the way you see the world.
