Before we start sharing their monthly events round-ups, we want to properly introduce you to our new partners - 4GOOD.

4GOOD is a London-based, award-winning social enterprise building a movement where doing good becomes the norm. It was founded in 2022 by Fran Harris, off the back of Year Here. At the time, she’d been working in planetary health research at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine. Fran said:

”I was deep in the science of climate and sustainability, but what I loved most about my job was the public engagement work. Events, workshops, school talks. I loved bringing people into a room to spark interest, inspiration and ulitmately positive change.”

So she asked the questions:

• How might we use the power of events for good?

• What if events weren’t extractive, wasteful or performative — but regenerative, inclusive and genuinely impactful?

And 4GOOD was launched.

In just over three years, 4GOOD has:

• Worked with dozens of organisers to make their events more sustainable and socially conscious

• Promoted over 600 impact-focused gatherings

• Built a growing audience of thousands who believe in gathering for good

The focus of 4GOOD is bottom-up change. It’s based on the believe that when people connect, collaborate and create together, small actions ripple outward. We’re proud to be partnering with 4GOOD as part of How to Change Things. Because social change doesn’t just happen in theory. It happens in rooms, around tables, on stages.

More soon.
