Colectivo Make/Change

Over the last two years we have developed a series of early projects, which leverage in creativity in its broadest definition, to connect people, build their skills and confidence, and make change happen. These include: Moffat Seed Library - now with around 180 members, Moffat Seed Library has organised 2 seed swaps (2023 and 2024), a plant swap (2024) and a series of seed pick-ups. We have fruit, vegetable, wildflower and tree seeds available to order from our website, free to people in the DG10 and DG11 area. Moffat Soup - an annual community meal, organised in collaboration with Moffat Town Hall Redevelopment Trust, which raises funds for local community groups who give presentations to the diners – many of whom join the groups as new members and volunteers. Make/Change Mondays – a safe space where change agents (and those who would like to be) explore issues, learn new skills and take action to improve things. It is a chance for people to learn, grow and be brave together. Soundwave – a songwriting space for young and emerging musicians, with an activist viewpoint. The What If? Film Club. Inspired by Rob Hopkins inspirational book, we run a film club that screens activist, transition-based and ecologically focused films. ShareFest - regular share and swap events and the development of a Local Resources Map. The Upper Annandale Timebank - to encourage trading and build community.
