Drawing new maps of hope: this is the urgency of the mandate
(Pope Leo, 2025)
Spaces of Hope has been cocreated by people who want to see a world transformed. Spaces of Hope began in 2016 in north west England, with gatherings that help people see the world they want, each from their own belief base and worldview. We use a radical approach that is rooted in lived experience, to curate dialogues, networks, thought leadership, leadership practice and pioneering research, to guide people, communities and institutions in the UK and oversees towards the change they want. We are developing our work as a social movement which responds to the uncertainties that are increasingly shaping our lives, from the mental health epidemic, political division, climate change, poverty and inequality, the pandemic, institutional crises, culture wars and the meta-crisis. We do this to open up the possibility of a hopeful and just society for us all.
