Legendary campaigner, Sheila McKechnie, believed in the importance of people being able to shape their world. This is the founding principle of SMK today.

It is in the business of helping people and organisations effect positive and lasting social change – whether in their local community or right across the globe.

It teaches and supports all these campaigners, from those who are just starting out to experienced campaigners in large organisations.

It bring the campaign community together to share new ideas, knowledge and resources, helping people and organisations campaign more effectively and efficiently, build confidence, nurture talent and accelerate impact.

And it works to champion and celebrate campaigning, demonstrating its’ value and acknowledging success.

Because, ultimately, it believes people being able to shape their world makes society fairer, safer and more vibrant. And it knows Sheila would have agreed.
