Third Sector Lab is working with Power to Change to help grantees from their Discovery fund to access a new way of working.
As part of the Open Working Programme, Third Sector Lab provides fully-funded support, training and guidance for third sector organisations and funders to transform how they use online comms as a tool for more open and transparent working.
Delivered online, the programme is open to staff and volunteers of third sector organisations across the UK. Places are limited. We are keen to receive applications from people working in any role from service delivery to senior management. This programme is an excellent way of spreading the responsibility for communications across your organisation.

Working with Power to Change
In May 2023, Power to Change and Third Sector Lab worked together to run an Open Working Programme for grantees of the Makers and Maintainers Fund. On taking part, Ben McKenna from Solidaritech said:
“In short I’ve found it really illuminating. I had forgotten how much I love writing… I think the program has been great, and I’ve seen a lot of people pump out some really thought provoking and interesting work.” – Blog post, “Wide Open (Working) Spaces”
To read more examples of open working, check out our Open Working and Re-Use Publication on Medium.
