Who is Nurture Development?
We are one of eleven strategic partners of the ABCD Institute and the lead partner in Europe. We work as ABCD social explorers, trainers, mentors, facilitators, researchers and consultants with change partners and disruptive innovators around the world. Our ambition is to support the proliferation of inclusive, bottom up, community driven change.
We support local communities and supportive mediating/civic organisations to create the conditions where any neighbourhood can identify, connect and mobilise its assets to the benefit of the whole community.
Of course there are external forces at play, and these must be addressed. However we believe that the primary assets/resources internal to the communities must also be mobilised if these external forces are to be held accountable and, where necessary, kept at bay.

Who do we work with?
We support citizens and disruptive innovators committed to the development of effective community alternatives to institutional responses. These include communities, charities, NGOs/NPOs, faith-based organisations, think tanks; local and national governments in over 30 countries.
We work across a wide range of issues from incarceration of young people to the instituationalisation of labelled people. We do so because we are passionate about reducing institutionalisation. We believe people primarily want a life, not a service, and that the best way to get a ‘good life’ is by increasing interdependency in communities.

We work with people who passionately believe that the best solutions to society’s health, environmental, safety, economic and political challenges lie in the heart of communities most impacted by these problems.
That is not to say that communities should bear the burden for resolving all socio-economic issues.
