Eco-storytelling - Your story can change our planet’s future
Storytelling can be an incredibly powerful tool, especially when in the hands of those seeking to change the world around them.
During COP26, we’ve partnered with Restless Development to support five Youth Power Climate Reps. We’ve hosted a session on Eco-storytelling to help young activists own their stories while changing the planet’s future. There was big interest in the session and it was a great opportunity to connect with so many of you across the world who want to make a difference.
As part of the session, our Youth Power Climate Reps shared their own stories both in spoken and written form. We looked at their written stories to explore what makes a powerful story and how to inspire others to work on their own narratives to make a change.
Our team also presented a brief introduction to storytelling and the questions to answer when working on your own story of change.
If you missed the session, you can check out the recording here.
We’re hoping you’ll be inspired by their stories as much as we did!
Keep an eye on our channels as there will be more similar sessions in the future.

The philanthropic world is facing an unprecedented period of uncertainty. With cuts to international aid, freezes on domestic spending, and shifting global priorities, nonprofits are navigating a rapidly changing funding landscape. This moment calls for clarity, commitment, and a renewed focus on what truly strengthens civil society: long-term resilience.
What a fantastic morning we had last month! Lightful hosted our Grants ++ event designed to bring funders together to explore how they can go beyond traditional grantmaking and truly support charities on their journey to long term sustainability. In a time where the funding landscape is shifting so rapidly, it was fantastic to connect in person for such an uplifting conversation, to collectively spark ideas on how funders can support their grantees and to launch Lightful’s next BRIDGE programme in June, supporting nonprofits with digital and AI skills.

Bolton is a vibrant town, with strong communities and a well-loved football club whose charity, Bolton Wanderers in the Community, has been supporting residents of Bolton for over 30 years. Communities in Bolton, however, face multiple challenges, including high levels of social deprivation. There are 1,672 Voluntary, Charity and Social Enterprises (VCSEs) in the area who exist to support the people of Bolton, but they themselves, in the years following a pandemic that drove interaction online, can find it difficult to find and connect to those who need them. Bolton CVS, an infrastructure organisation dedicated to supporting charities in Bolton, identified a critical need to support them with digital capacity building so that these communities could reconnect, and Bolton's VCSEs could reach the people they were founded to serve.
