I am no longer accepting the things I cannot change. I am changing the things I cannot accept.

Angela Davis

Here’s to the misfits…the ones who see things differently. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do.

Jack Kerouac

The future, of course, is not something you predict and wait for. It is something you invent daily through your actions.

FEATURED OPPORTUNITY

free the change

Free The Change is a bold but simple invitation to help you start or join a small “change-maker” support group where you live, work or play. It’s also a network linking similar groups across Scotland for wider connection, inspiration and skill-sharing.

It is curated by Simon Bateson, Founder of Take One Action – in response to thousands of conversations we’ve been part of over the last decade. Conversations about what helps turn both well-meaning concern and mis-spent energy into sustainable, system-changing lives: lived for the common good.
