Tonic Changemakers
A membership programme for people doing Equality, Diversity and Inclusion work in the arts and cultural sector
Tonic Changemakers is a community of likeminded people who are committed to driving EDI-related change in the arts and cultural sector. It is also a first of its kind hub of training, support and professional development opportunities designed specifically for EDI changemakers.
Tonic Changemakers is a rolling programme that is renewed on a yearly basis. Annual membership will give you access to:
- Training for changemakers. Skilling you up to manage your journey and tackle this work strategically, confidently and creatively
- Projects via themed workshops that provide a deep dive into specific topics and allow you to work on change in real time over a series of months
- Group collaboration sessions. Spaces to share ideas, work through challenges and hear what’s working well in other organisations
- Gatherings so you can meet with your counterparts from other organisations
- Buddy system so you can connect with others across the sector doing work similar to you and feel less alone
- Monthly mailshots that highlight resources, opportunities and news
Further details including dates and membership fees can be found below.

“The Tonic Changemakers programme has been really worthwhile for the work I do in my role and for the organisation as a whole. The sessions have helped me keep EDI work at the centre of focus and carve out time and space to think deeply about it.
The opportunity for collaboration has been especially valuable, and I have felt really supported by the people I have met through the programme. Halfway through the year, my confidence in taking EDI work forward has increased enormously and I have been able to make positive changes to our EDI strategy and action plan.”
