Why you can still Donate to The Secret Of Change 

We have been delighted at the levels of support we have recieved for The Secret Of Change so far. Unfortunately, our crowdfunding efforts fell short of our minumum target of £13,000. We need another £5,981 to complete the documentary in the way we would like. This is why we are inviting anyone who has not yet contributed to visit The Secret Of Change homepage where you and still donate

This is a completely non-profit production and our minimum £13,000 target will enable us to complete the documentary but will still fall a long way short of covering costs. In order to do this we would need to hit our upper target of £18,000 so you can see why we still need your help!

But hey, we knew it would be tough when we took it on and don't regret it for a second, we have loved every minute of making this series and if we can just raise enough to get it finished and share what we've discovered with the world it would be a HUGE success!

What have people said about The Secret of Change so far? 

“The Secret of Change is very timely. It’s inspiring, not only by connecting the organizations together but by example. What Chris and Zoe are doing is very grassroots, they don’t have a lot of resources behind them, but they do have commitment and inspiration." - Bill Darnell, Member of Vernon in Transition & Founding Member of Greenpeace.

 

'The Secret of Change' will be an amazing insight into what Transition groups on both sides of the Atlantic are doing, and just what we, as people living in communities, can achieve.  This film will be a powerful and inspirational road trip through the evolving Transition movement, please help it to get made!" -  Rob Hopkins, Founder of Transition

 

 Supporting "The Secret of Change" has truly been a once in a lifetime experience. Documenting successful Transition projects challenges people to collectively meet the needs of communities they live in. - Jill Webber, Chuckanut Transition

"I think it’s great, Chris and Zoe are engaging their passion, it’s obvious they’re making this film because they want to be doing it. They’re delving into very interesting aspects of Transition and I’m really looking forward to watching it!" -Ross Moster, Founder of Village Vancouver Transition Society

 

Knowing we are part of a broad and growing movement of people who share a common cause is The Secret of Change. Support this film and help others realise they are part of a powerful and growing global network.” - Ciaran Mundy, Founder of the Bristol Pound
