have regard to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit.
Objects of the Charity
The objects of Climate Change All Change (CCAC) are:
-
To promote knowledge and understanding of the important rela�onship between climate change and design innova�on, through partnerships between school children and prac�sing designers.
-
To advance the teaching of climate science, climate literacy, and design innova�on in state primary schools throughout the UK.
-
climate science and design innova�on, through provision of age-appropriate teaching resources in schools where climate science is absent from the curriculum.
-
To advance the development of crea�ve skills in primary school children by increasing their capaci�es, capabili�es and imagina�ve thinking at a �me when emphasis on design and the arts is in decline.
-
To promote climate science and design technology in the primary curriculum as key life and employability skills for children.
-
To combat anxiety and feelings of impotence about surviving future global condi�ons, which have been iden�fied in a growing number of children, and to imbue them with a sense of empowerment to find solu�ons for living in the changing world of climate change.
-
To create diverse and innova�ve responses to extreme climate situa�ons over a range of design fields by engaging children’s views and voices. envisaging their lives in the future.
-
To provide professional designers with the imagina�ve s�mulus of working with children from a wide range of backgrounds, and to allow designers to develop mutually inspired proposals to combat extreme climate situa�ons.
-
To develop the co-design concepts to a level where they form the core of an inspira�onal and informa�ve na�onal exhibi�on covering a wide range of climate change informa�on, dangers and solu�ons.
-
To create a model schools’ programme on design for climate change and a public exhibi�on template that can be replicated or adapted by others elsewhere in the world.

year (see Achievements and Performance below).
Following pilot, demonstra�on, and consolida�on phases, 2024 commenced the expansion of the programme.
-
Opening in June of the V&A curated and designed Imagining Tomorrow display showcasing CCAC’s work and highligh�ng the five 2023 co-designs and an early 2024 co-design. The show has just been extended to 26th February 2025 to allow the Minister for Early Educa�on to visit.
-
Inclusion of Imagining Tomorrow in London Climate Ac�on Week
-
The se�ng up of the CCAC Young Designers’ Award, sponsored by The Linbury Trust, to fund emerging designer par�cipa�on in CCAC’s co-design programme. Five are par�cipa�ng in the 2024-25 cohort of co-design projects.
-
CCAC par�cipated in V&A Learning Centre “Makealong” programme which beams a live makingstream into primary schools across the country engaging typically 3000 children. Finbar Charleson of Sylva Design hosted the 30 minute blog.
-
The implementa�on of the expansion programme comprising comple�on of seven schools codesign projects in the 2023-24 academic year.
-
The planning and commencement of a further eight schools co-design projects for the 2024-25 academic year.
-
The forma�on of the Designers’ Collec�ve comprising all designers have par�cipated in the CCAC programme or who have shown an interest in par�cipa�ng in it. The first workshop was held on 7th November 2024. The designers combined in a public statement encouraging the government to include climate change in the school’s curriculum and reinforce teaching of design and technology.
-
CCAC trustees and members have par�cipated in a number of cross disciplinary fora and events and contributed ar�cles to educa�on magazines and academic papers.
Each collabora�on in the forthcoming programme follows the model demonstrated in 2022, adjusted to reflect recommenda�on from KCL’s Environmental Research Group Centre for Research in STEM Educa�on and subsequent refinements. Children, teachers, and designers together consider how lives will be impacted by the climate extremes predicted to take effect within the children’s life�mes and ways to mi�gate them are imagined through design strategies.
2028, by which �me we intend to have sufficient recogni�on and demonstrably effec�ve results to influence the applica�on of na�onal curriculum for state primary schools.
CCAC aims to contribute to developing children’s poten�al, widening horizons and presen�ng a proven route to the government’s stated mission to ‘…put climate change at the heart of educa�on’ (Educa�on ’ Secretary s Sustainability and Climate Change dra� strategy, published 5 November 2021)
When reviewing the Charity’s aims and planning our ac�vi�es the trustees have considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on Public Benefit.
Towards the end of 2024 it became clear that to maintain growth and impact it will be essen�al to move away from a largely volunteer administered charity, and fundraising has allowed us to commence this transi�on.

Achievements and Performance
Ini�a�ng programme expansion
With CCAC’s four-year pilot, demonstra�on and consolida�on phases now complete the charity has adopted a measured expansion phase with an objec�ve of achieving sufficient trac�on and visibility to demonstrate how crea�ve learning can be successfully integrated into the primary school curriculum. The expansion of the CCAC programme will take a step-by-step approach focused on se�ng up regional hubs. Embryo hubs have been set up Manchester, Derby, and Bristol.
The hubs are based on pioneering co-design projects with primary schools in the regional ci�es. Through these we develop local contacts and poten�al stakeholders. From these we iden�fy a nucleus of support and setup a network for building on our original projects with the regions.
By the end of 2024 CCAC had resolved to change from a largely volunteer-lead core team to one supported by remunerated administra�on to meet the growing needs of the many moving parts of the CCAC programme. Recent unrestricted funding has allowed this to be implemented.
Designer procurement
The two-pronged approach to secure designers has fed designer par�cipa�on in all our co-design projects:
5 of the cohort of 2024 designers are supported by the CCAC emerging designer programme 3 of which were secured through the CCAC Young Designers Award. The remaining 19 designers were provided pro bono from established design prac�ces
School procurement
and procedures for approaching them was con�nued.
Co-design resources
In 2024, work to improve and expand CCAC’s teaching resources for schools and designers con�nued. A CCAC branded teaching resource neared comple�on. It will be available to all new par�cipa�ng schools and designers in 2025. The resource pack will include:
-
A combined climate science and design principles teaching resource,
-
6-week classroom work plan (template),
-
Weekly lesson plan (template),
-
Children’s work sheets (template)
-
Image library
-
Teaching guidelines for designers
-
End-of-project feedback review
The primary educator con�nues to be ac�ve on all co-design projects providing advice to teachers and designers and conduc�ng interviews with children, teachers and designers.
Visual iden�ty, website, social media, exhibi�ons, and PR
The V&A curated and designed Imagining Tomorrow (see above) raised the profile and visibility of CCAC’s crea�ve partnership work. It opened on 6th June 2024 and closed, following an extension, on 27th February 2025.

The Founda�on for Educa�on Development (FED) will publish CCAC’s resources in its Climate Change and Sustainability Toolkit for teachers in 2025
The Chartered College of Teaching’s Rethinking Curriculum published on 31 October 2024 a case study on CCAC by educa�on academic Kimberly Safford; it will shortly be accompanied by a Rethinking Curriculum podcast by Sophie Gavalda, Headteacher, William Tyndale Primary School, Islington
The Chartered College of Teaching’s Impact Journal published on 24 September 2024 Crea�ve partnerships in the classroom: A case study of Climate Change All Change schools’ programme by Linda Lloyd Jones MBE, Dr Deborah Outhwaite and Dr Emma Rawlings Smith.
Social media posts and CCAC website news items have been pursued on a weekly basis.
Sponsorship and Funding:
Funding applica�ons con�nued through 2024. With heavy volunteer input and cash and in-kind funding of designers, outgoings were kept in check. However as noted, the move to largely remunerated administra�on will require increased funding revenue half of which was obtained in early 2025.
Financial Review
The total income for the period January 2024 to December 2024 was £79,931. The total expenditure was £38,207. At the year end the charity achieved a surplus of £41,724. There were total funds carried forward of £79,749 of which £5,702 were restricted and £74,047 were unrestricted.
Reserve Policy
through providing con�ngency against unforeseen events. £20,000 has been ring-fenced as a general reserve with the remaining amounts held at 31 December 2024 being used to fund ac�vi�es in future years.
Plans for Future Periods
The Charity has just embarked upon the delivery of an accelerated growth strategy to reach more young children. The goal is to achieve a total of 60 co-design collabora�ons by 2028.
The Charity will con�nue to reinforce the programme's unique pedagogy and increase the range of design challenges offered to young people whilst developing a diverse and inclusive strategy for the recruitment of primary schools from underrepresented communi�es and disadvantaged backgrounds so that young people who lack opportunity, have access to this unique programme without barriers. The Charity will increase its ini�a�ves to secure the inclusion the integra�on of climate change into the school curriculum and s�mulate exis�ng subjects including Design and Technology.
