Every action leaves a Changeprint. A Changeprint is the collective impact created when people join with others to make something happen. It’s visible proof that collaboration works and that local climate action improves daily life.

A Changeprint isn’t the project itself. It’s the sum of all the good it generates: stronger connections, healthier environments, shared learning, local pride and a growing sense of belonging.

Where a carbon footprint measures what we take away, a Changeprint shows what we can build together.

A Changeprint can take many forms. It could be the benefits from creating more public green spaces, reducing plastic waste at work, installing better insulation and more efficient heating systems, reducing the use of harmful chemical fertilisers and insecticides, or something else.

Across hundreds of real stories, the pattern is clear: connection, collaboration and visible progress.

A Changeprint starts from one action, then grows as others copy what works and make it their own.

When people can have a meaningful impact over what happens around them, they turn towards each other.

Positive change becomes closer, more achievable and copyable. A Changeprint makes that connection clear. It helps turn our individual concern about climate into collective impact.

A Changeprint can strengthen a street, shape a neighbourhood or city, and eventually create a national Changeprint for the UK. It creates a ripple effect that becomes a new normal for place-based action.

‘Net zero’ is a climate policy term that unfortunately does little to inspire or motivate people. It’s too abstract and detached from day-to-day concerns.

We’re living through a time of uncertainty and change right now. People want something more human and hopeful; something that shows progress they can see and feel where they live.

Changeprint provides that new narrative. It describes what a positive place looks like when people join together, copy what works and create meaningful change for themselves and each other.
