Our Impact Model: The Ripple Effect
At Change in Nature, we know that real change grows through relationships — between people, communities, and the wider living world.
Our programmes help participants reconnect with nature, build trust, and strengthen the social and ecological networks they’re part of. These relationships become the root system for wider transformation, as values like care, collaboration and ecological responsibility ripple outward.
How it works
Research in social and behavioural science shows that change spreads through networks of trust — typically reaching friends, friends of friends, and their friends in turn. Based on this model, the 2,500 people who have directly experienced our work can indirectly influence more than 300,000 people through three degrees of connection — a reach comparable to membership of the UK’s major political parties.
What ripples out
What participants carry forward is more than new skills or insight. They leave with:
A deeper, reciprocal relationship with the natural world
Stronger social bonds and capacity for collective leadership
Renewed purpose and agency to act for regeneration
This is not broadcast influence but relational change — spreading through networks of meaning, trust and care. Each participant becomes a center of influence, creating ripples of regeneration that move outward through their communities, organisations and ecosystems.
