Today (February 20th) is World Day for Social Justice – a powerful reminder of our shared responsibility to build a more just, inclusive and equitable world, celebrating the transformative power of collective action. At the heart of building a more just world lies a commitment to nurturing more inclusive and connected communities.
Over the last decade Caplor Horizons has been privileged to work with more than 150 different organisations in around 50 countries – the vast majority of whom are working to support healthier, happier and more resilient communities in a wide variety of ways. From increasing food security to championing the rights of people with disabilities, and inspiring leadership confidence and skills for women seeking asylum, to protecting our planet by challenging wildlife and environmental crime. Stronger communities for people and planet is at the heart of them all. Read a selection of our testimonials here.
In 2025, Caplor Horizons is delighted to be partnering with two different charities that are working to build stronger, more inclusive and resilient communities…
Our collaboration with the Federation for the Experiment in International Living (FEIL) goes back a number of years. Last year Lorna and Kemal facilitated a session at their General Assembly meeting on shared leadership (see picture below). Read more about our ‘Essentials of Shared Leadership’ here. This year we are embarking on a strategy renewal process with AFS EIL Intercultural Learning in Ireland. EIL is deeply committed to intercultural exchange – working globally so that individuals, organisations and communities can create a more sustainable, peaceful and just world. Ian and Laura (Adams), our Chair, will be travelling to Cork to begin work with the staff and trustees in March.
A newer partnership that began this year is with Neighbourhood Watch Network. Many people will perhaps know them as the largest volunteer led crime prevention charity in England and Wales. However, this is just one part of their vision for a society where neighbours come together to create safer, stronger and active communities. At the heart of their approach is a deep commitment to supporting individuals and communities to be more connected so that they are more resilient and inclusive. Lorna and Kemal facilitated a session with the staff and trustees of Neighbourhood Watch in January to map out a strategy renewal process (see below). To find out more, read our ‘Essentials of Strategy’ here.
