intoChange - Our Work
We work alongside places and organisations at moments of transition — when there’s ambition, uncertainty, or simply a sense that something needs to change.
Looe Town Council & Creative Looe CIC
We were commissioned by Looe Town Council to explore how creativity could play a stronger role in the town’s future and to help define the role of Creative Looe CIC. Working with TAC, Lizzie Hilton and Fotonow, we combined research, policy alignment and practical engagement to test whether a creative collective could act as a catalyst for change.
Instead of relying on formal meetings, we designed visible consultation tools that moved around the town, inviting people to share problems, dreams and ideas. Alongside a short survey and a youth photography project, this fed into a focused feasibility report with clear recommendations and next steps for growing Looe’s creative confidence and capacity.
Liskeard Town Council & The Liskeard Renewal Partnership
We were commissioned to support the early development of the Liskeard Renewal Partnership through three facilitated sessions, bringing together councillors, businesses, community organisations and key local stakeholders. Our role was to create the conditions for constructive dialogue - helping a diverse group move beyond individual agendas and towards a shared sense of purpose.
Across the sessions, we worked with participants to clarify priorities drawn from the Town Vision, test areas of focus, and explore how the partnership should operate in practice. This included conversations about governance, decision-making, representation and accountability. By the end of the process, the group had greater clarity about its role, its early programme of work and how it could function as a practical vehicle for coordinated action rather than simply a discussion forum.
Torpoint Artists Collective
We supported the early strategic development of Torpoint Artists Collective, a new Community Interest Company established by local artists to strengthen Torpoint’s cultural life. Our role focused on reviewing existing material, facilitating structured strategy conversations, and shaping a clear and viable business model. Together, we clarified purpose, identified funding and partnership pathways, and developed a practical roadmap to guide the next phase of growth.
Alongside business planning, we helped position the collective’s wider vision (including developing creative space on the high street and exploring the reuse of Horson Cemetery Chapel) as a credible contribution to the town’s economic and social future. The result was a stronger strategic framework, sharper messaging, and a confident foundation for stakeholder engagement and fundraising.
South East Cornwall Arts
We were commissioned by SECA to support the development of their strategic direction and strengthen their internal alignment. The work focused on clarifying purpose, identifying priorities and shaping a more coherent plan for the next phase of their growth.
Through a series of structured sessions, we facilitated honest discussion, surfaced key tensions and translated ideas into practical actions. The outcome was a clearer framework for decision-making and a shared understanding of where SECA should concentrate its energy and resources.
Business Coaching for CreativeUK
For CreativeUK, we delivered structured one-to-one business coaching to creative enterprises as part of their regional support programme. Across a series of focused sessions, we acted as a sounding board and critical friend, helping founders clarify their offer, sharpen their positioning and sense-check their financial models. We worked through tools such as the Business Model Canvas, goal setting frameworks and simple cashflow forecasting to bring clarity to income streams, audiences and delivery priorities.
Alongside strategy, we supported practical decision-making. This included reviewing pricing, stress-testing growth plans, identifying realistic trading targets and mapping partnership opportunities. Each session ended with clear next steps and accountability, ensuring momentum between meetings. The work was about strengthening confidence and commercial resilience, while keeping each organisation rooted in its creative purpose and values.
