PIRC

Yikes! We’re feeling shaken from bots hijacking our Introduction to Communications Testing workshop. We’re really sorry to folks who were in the workshop for the explicit content, and we’re working to troubleshoot and reschedule. Please bare with us. Sending care to you all 💚

First one tomrrow!

Curious about narrative change? Join us for our first workshop on intro to narrative change next Thursday at 2pm tinyurl.com/intro-to-nar...

Eight Years On From Framing the Economy, we revisit our toolkit, sharing insights from our learnings as well as our learnings from friends at @fprovfoundation.bsky.social publicinterest.org.uk/eight-years-...

Excited to see this fab new communications guide go out into the wild, from our friend and associate - Ralph at Framing Matters. Head over to weallmakemistakes.org for the free download, and a series of cute animal illustrations to help us remember common comms traps to avoid in our narrative work.

From unflattening our structure, to welcoming new trustees & creating new support offerings for grassroots organisers doing narrative work, we've had a generative first half of 2026. Check out our latest blog for more - incl. trainings, events & learning resources: publicinterest.org.uk/spring-2026

In the last hours before Scottish Parliament, Senedd Cymru and UK local elections, a gentle reminder of 5 things anyone communicating for a more equitable, democratic & sustainable world should keep in mind—on doorsteps & online.

What kind of workshops would you like to see from PIRC in 2025? 👀

We loved meeting with our board last week to chat PIRC's values, aims and future strategy. It's hard, when much feels hopeless, to work out what a small org can do to best play our role in change. We think we are figuring it out though! Stay tuned 👀

Are you curious about how we can build grassroots narrative power in the UK? Then come join us as we reflect on our narrative leadership programme on April 9 www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/how-do-we-...

We love this new toolkit, spearheaded by Friends of the Joiners Arms, about how spaces can be more accessible. We loved the bit about safeguarding, we’ve been having similar questions at PIRC about how we can take anti-carceral approaches to safeguarding static1.squarespace.com/static/627b6...

"We ate delicious food, watched Twilight and experimented with new learning styles, in a collective journey towards better UK-based narrative change infrastructure." Find out more about our narrative change residential here publicinterest.org.uk/the-final-re...

A few years ago, we worked with NEON, @350.org, and a bunch of grassroots groups across the UK on Framing Climate Justice. We wanted to work out how to communicate about climate change in ways that would lead to wide-scale action, and stay grounded in racial justice values framingclimatejustice.org
