Objectives and activities
Charitable objectives:
To promote, for the public benefit, the conservation, protection and improvement of the physical and natural environment, in particular, but not exclusively, by providing the public with information and guidance about individual lifestyle changes that can be made to prevent or reduce climate change and encouraging and supporting them to make their own lifestyle changes to help prevent or reduce climate change, including through the use of practical tools.
Significant activities:
We have a powerful, two-pronged approach to inspiring citizens and communities to ‘take The JUMP’ and form a movement:
1. Local projects: Targeted outreach in specific locations to achieve high JUMP uptake by citizens, business, civil society, and local government, all in one place. These ‘community JUMPs’ will offer proof of principle and sources of practical & visual inspiration. They are co-developed with local community voices and leaders and start with local plan co-creation, then events, buddy groups, street fairs, grief sharing, JUMP citizen assemblies and other ways of engaging and connecting people on the ground. Current projects are underway in Surrey, with community JUMPs in Guildford and Godalming, Bristol with a focus on local business JUMPs, and Leeds with a focus on marginalised groups, including low income and BIPOC communities.
2. Digital movement building: General outreach and promotion to catalyse a digitally connected emerging movement across the target demographic in the UK, and eventually Europe and North America. Building on our strong message, ethos and brand style to undertake targeted campaigns across social media, press, blogs, and events. Combined with online influencer & supporter outreach with organic social activation (people, not ad placement!), The JUMP is inspiring a visible and active cohort of citizens and communities to sign up to ‘taking The JUMP’, wherever they live. By connecting JUMPers online and unlocking and broadcasting their journeys and stories we will debunk consumerist narratives, replacing them with better ones.
Together these two prongs create an international network of JUMP ambassadors, both on the ground and online, who are supported to inspire and recruit others, leading to a self-sustaining movement. The populations that are specifically being targeted by The JUMP are the 25% in typical high consuming countries, who are increasingly open to climate action and must now be activated if any cultural shift is to happen, as identified in research:
https://climateoutreach.org/reports/britain-talks-climate/. This is Civic pragmatists, (13% in UK) who want to engage but feel helpless, progressive views but not political, and to a lesser extent established liberals, (12% of UK) high consumption and wealth, prioritise taking personal responsibility and are moderately concerned about climate change. The JUMP is designed to engage these groups by remaining positive, practical and entirely avoiding party politics.
Public benefit:
With reference to the duty in section 17(5) of the Charities Act 2011, the trustees confirm that they have referred to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity's aims and objectives and in planning its current and future activities. The achievements and activities outlined in this report demonstrate the public benefit arising from the charity's activities.

Achievements and performance
Main achievements during the period:
1. Community action: 30+ local community hot spots taking some form of ‘Take the Jump’ action across the UK, providing mutual support for citizens and local groups taking The Jump in each area.
2. Uptake: 4,050 people have signed up and taken the jump.
3. International growth; Full launch of TTJ activities in New Zealand and Germany, with Welsh website translation under development.
4. Community Events: Dozens of events across the UK. Flagship community event (co-funding by Arts Council England and Waltham Forest Council) in the economically disadvantaged area of London, Chingford.
5. Cultural events: Festival engagement at Shambala and Boomtown with dedicate TTJ space, mobile performance booth with Planetary Tarot reader. Led to 100 (‘non-usual suspects’) people signing up to ambassador training.
6. Our approach is working: 1) 68% of reporting participants report a positive experience, making progress with the behaviour changes of the shifts, and continuing to try once their jump period ends. 2) 85% of reporting participants would recommend TTJ to a friend.
7. Impactful outreach: 1) 200 Ambassadors completing our 6 week training, 2) 2 million people reached through our billboard campaign across the UK and New Zealand, 3) TTJ featured on BBC 1 Sunday Morning Live interview.
8. Schools and Education: Take the Jump has started our ‘Schools and Young People’ program. Trained and vetted ambassadors visiting schools delivering assemblies, classes, workshops and projects, that are age appropriate, fun, and participatory. Showing changes we can make, tips on how, why they’re joyous, science on why it's important, all in the spirit that it’s enough to try & no shaming.
9. Councils: Six separate councils have been worked with to activate staff and local residents and organisations to try the shifts. Collaborations have include Waltham Forest, Kent County Council, Stroud, Waverley, Westminster, and Thanet councils. Partnership discussions are underway with many others.
10. Systems and services updates: 1) Donations function added to website, 2) email ladder updated, 3) Comprehensive participant survey and support update strategy.
