Increasingly, the biggest opportunities and challenges facing our places don't sit within one organisation.

They sit between local government, politics, public services, businesses and communities.

That's where The Change Arc has chosen to focus.

As our work continues to evolve, we're deliberately building a collective of experienced practitioners whose expertise reflects the increasingly complex environments our clients are navigating.

We're delighted to welcome Nathan Oswin as a Senior Associate.

Nathan is an award-winning campaigner whose experience spans political strategy, community organising and some of the UK's most significant public campaigns. He has played leading roles in the Hillsborough Law campaign, Covid-19 Bereaved Families for Justice, the National Covid Memorial Wall and the TUC's work at the UK Covid-19 Public Inquiry.

Today's announcement formalises a relationship that's already delivering value. Nathan is already supporting several live place-based programmes with The Change Arc, helping navigate complex political environments, strengthen stakeholder relationships and shape our thinking around community influence and participation.

Rob Griffiths, Co-Founder of The Change Arc, said:

"Nathan understands how meaningful change happens when communities, institutions and leaders work together. He's already making a significant contribution to our work, so formalising the relationship felt like the natural next step."

Nathan said:

"Strengthening communities isn't a tick box exercise done over a short time period - it takes bringing people together and focusing on the short, medium and long term with joint aims. I'm delighted to work with The Change Arc who share that vision and know what it takes to deliver meaningful change."

Nathan joins a growing network of Senior Associates bringing complementary experience across public leadership, political strategy and community influence, helping leaders, organisations and places navigate complexity and turn shared ambition into action.
