OUR PARTNERS

Our ‘Women of the Dark Skies’ project, led by our artistic director Becky Burchell, was supported by local Dorset partners Cranborne Chase and Chalke Valley Landscape Partnership and the National Lottery Heritage Fund. With their generous development funding, we were able to create the event concept, the story and format for these unique and popular events.

Warwick Arts Centre were the commissioners and delivery partners for CHANGE Festival’s weekend of events in 2019 and 2021. Their commitment, support and experience are integral to the success of the festival - thank you to everyone at the venue, especially Julia Carruthers, Andrew Fletcher, Mary Ryder and Ed Dyer.

Coventry UK City of Culture 2021 supported CHANGE Festival through funding, marketing and partnerships. Their dedication to Coventry’s future and creating a thriving, cultural hub that will inspire many generations to come, is perfectly aligned with the ethos of CHANGE Festival and we couldn’t have been more proud to be hosting our 2021 event weekend during the inaugural City of Culture Year for Coventry.

Reboot the Future were the brilliant partners for our discussion series and selected workshops at Warwick Arts Centre, as well as the funders and partners for The World We Made play and Rise Up films. This foundation is helping to build a generation of people who refuse to believe that the future is foreclosed. A generation who believes that we can re-orientate our choices, our institutions and our systems in the service of reciprocity, care and hope.

The Arts Council England supported the 2019 festival with funding that helped us cover many of our costs for hosting events at Warwick Arts Centre. We were particularly grateful for the support for Simon Fitch, for all his advice and help in preparing for our funding application.

The Heart of England Foundation were early supporters of CHANGE Festival, back in 2018 before we had even done our first event! Without their trust and support, the festival would have never have happened.
