Read our Ashoka UK & Ireland in a snapshot brochure!
When writing our brochure in summer 2020, we found ourselves in unprecedented times. The global Coronavirus pandemic, the Black Lives Matter protests as well other movements like the Friday for the Future marches that mobilised millions of young people this year are all an outcry and symptom of social and environmental injustice. This has been deeply rooted in society for too long.
Ashoka has spent 40 years supporting social entrepreneurs who have been using the tools of innovation and entrepreneurship to fix broken social and environmental systems. Originally outliers, these leading innovators have emerged between the cracks of the traditional institutions of government, NGOs and businesses, and have become inspiring agents for change.
How can the UK embrace a culture of changemaking?
These are a collection of stories and examples of how changemakers are shaping the new way forward in the UK & Ireland. Learn more about Ashoka's work in the UK and how you can get involved.
