ABOUT US

Behaviour Change is a not-for-profit social enterprise, founded in 2009. We create social and environmental change, with big ideas grounded in behavioural science.

    Who we work with

  1. We deliver consultancy projects for businesses seeking a positive impact

    We work with like-minded businesses on social and environmental issues where a behaviour change is required.  This ranges from facilitating workshops to developing full scale behaviour change intervention projects, from research and strategy to on-the-ground delivery.

  2. We help charities and government achieve their behavioural goals

    We develop interventions to help tackle some of society’s biggest problems, working with central and local government and charities large and small.

  3. We work with foundations to further the causes they support

    We work with funders to design, build and test innovative interventions to address social and environmental challenges in the UK and overseas.

Our approach

WE BELIEVE THAT BIG IDEAS REQUIRE A UNIQUE COMBINATION OF:

Deep Insight

Using innovative research methods to understand people’s everyday lives

Behavioural Science

A set of tools to help us develop interventions that make it easier for people to act

Test & learn

Piloting low cost, high impact ideas and scaling those that change behaviour

What we do

We provide an end-to-end service that includes:

Designing in evaluation

Making sure data capture is central to intervention design, not an afterthought

Our unique process

Tried and tested through a decade of experience in delivering behaviour change

Creative ideas

Behaviour change as an art as well as a science

Our Team

Following a career as an advertising strategist and charity campaign director, David set up Behaviour Change in 2009. He is responsible for all our behaviour change strategies, taking the lead on insight work and idea generation as well as evaluation thinking and is personally involved in all our projects. He’s an experienced speaker, commentator and workshop facilitator. Since early 2022 he has also been part of WRAP’s Senior Leadership Team. Outside work he is a published author (of a children’s reading book), a keen theatre goer and is slowly making his way around the South West coastal path.

Since co-founding Behaviour Change, he has led the delivery of more than 50 behaviour change interventions. Rob is responsible for business operations and management of the organisation, as well as overseeing output across all of our work and managing our network of collaborators. He’s gradually working his way up the belts in Shodokan Aikido (slow progress when you start at 40…)
