aboutus
We pride ourselves on our upholding our core values of transparency, personal realisation and fairness to people and planet, and we only work with clients who share them.
We contribute to other projects that support caring, sharing, inspiring and empowering projects where communities and the natural world work in harmony.
We work with a number of DinT associates who offer specialist support in different areas and places to help maximise opportunities for face-to-face support. If you are working towards positive change in your community or organisation in the North, South, East or West - or anywhere in between - our specialist team can help your organisation to express the change you want to see in the world and measure your progress towards achieving your goal of improving in the places that matter to you. We don’t want to reinvent the wheel but we do want to make the cogs of positive change spin faster.
