  • WE ARE STEWARDS

Growing the UK steward-ownership movement  through field building, convening, and shared knowledge.

We are launching the steward-ownership movement in the UK alongside core partners by connecting and strengthening the field through convening, collaboration and sharing.

We also provide practical support through ‘The Third Seat’, our independent organisation that holds the golden share to safeguard purpose in steward-owned businesses.

  • We help organisations adapt and endure, with ownership and investment structures that protect purpose and build resilience for the long term.
