The Decelerator is a support service for civil society organisations offering advice, tools and hands-on support for better endings.
We support UK-based organisations and individuals to anticipate and design closures, mergers, CEO transitions, programming ends, and all sorts of endings as just part of the everyday life of organisations and inevitable cycles of change in civil society.
It is our ambition to be around for 10 years.
During this time we hope to shift mindsets and money so that individuals, organisations, sectors and movements consider possible endings as regularly and readily as growth in their ambitious, courageous pursuit of impact for the people and communities they serve.
The Decelerator is an initiative that emerged from Stewarding Loss.
The strategic, field-level, international work of Stewarding Loss continues alongside the work of The Decelerator whose complimentary focus is on meeting the urgent and growing need for practical support for endings in UK civil society.
