What does it mean to sustain place-based systems change?

Over 2025-2026, Renaisi is leading a new inquiry into how to sustain place-based systems change

Our work with places across the UK has revealed a trend: our current systems have limited capacity to sustain place-based systems change initiatives as funding cycles come to an end.  

Renaisi is working with a coalition of place-based practitioners, funders, facilitators and convenors to scope out alternative models for sustaining place-based systems change and develop tools that will support us to put them into action. 

The inquiry will shape: 

  • A typology of models for sustaining place-based systems change  
  • Recommendations for organisation looking to support this place-based systems change work, including funders and delivery partners  

We know that this is a pressing question for a huge range of the place-based practitioners, funders, facilitators and convenors that we work with – and so have built lots of ways for people to be involved.  

More detail on what we’ll be exploring and how you can get involved is here.

Interested?  Contact Kezia Jackson-Harman at k.jackson-harman@renaisi.com to get involved
