The Social Movements for Health programme, run by Nesta and Dunhill Medical Trust from 2019–20, supported seven social movements with funding and other kinds of support.
The programme focused on four areas of building social movements:
- Leadership and purpose
- Measuring impact
- Sustainability
- Growing awareness and mobilising new people
This report, written by Icarus, an experienced collective which evaluates the impact of social change initiatives, explores the successes and failures of the programme. It offers insight into how the social movements grew over the year and the impact on individual members who participated. The recommendations for approaches to similar programmes and initiatives will be valuable for other funders, builders of social movements, activists and researchers.
