Thoughtful inspiration.
Is it time to get inspired? Join our professional development events for people working in health, education and community sectors.
Our events encourage connection, platform people doing brilliant things and share practical ideas for creating lasting positive change.
Book Launch
In 2025, Healing-Centred Transformation: Mend, Tend and Change the Future, by Kerry Tottingham was published.
To celebrate, we brought together leaders, practitioners, creatives and changemakers for a one-day event filled with inspiring stories, practical ideas and meaningful conversations about creating positive change in ourselves, our organisations and our communities.

Mend + Tend
In 2026, we brought together over 70 people from health, education and community sectors at Manchester Museum for Mend + Tend.
Through inspiring speakers, powerful conversations and practical wellbeing activities, participants explored how to design work for real life, creating healthier workplace cultures, stronger relationships and more sustainable ways of working.

We are always looking for inspiring speakers! To contribute to our events, join the Human Skills Network, our professional learning community.
Gatherings
To support connection, learning and wellbeing beyond projects and programmes, we create informal gatherings, restorative retreats and professional networks.
From local community meetups and creative retreats to peer learning spaces, these experiences help people build relationships, share ideas, prioritise wellbeing and grow alongside others working for positive change.
Powerful events.
When a room full of people puts thier hand up and says me too, then you know you are part of something brilliant.
We provide speaking and workshop opportunities, invite people to have stalls and spaces to share thier work, and design events that inspire and refocus on what matters.
