Who we are
Capabilities for a changing world
Ubuntu Pledge is a Community Interest Company committed to helping people and organisations develop the capabilities they need to navigate change and create meaningful progress.
We work with young people, adults, families, communities and organisations through practical training, coaching, Information, Advice & Guidance, and community-based programmes. Our work is shaped by lived experience, deep listening and a practical understanding of the challenges people face.
Mindset.Skillset.Toolset.
Whether we are helping an individual navigate an everyday challenge, delivering one of our established training programmes or designing a bespoke project with an NHS organisation, council or community partner, our objective remains the same: to equip people to move forward with greater confidence, capability and independence.
About Ubuntu Pledge
What we do
Practical support. Meaningful learning. Lasting impact.
Our work is built around four connected service areas. Each service can be accessed independently or combined with other services to create a complete pathway around a person, family, community or organisation.
Information, Advice & Guidance
Practical one-to-one support that helps individuals and families understand information, navigate systems and take appropriate next steps.
- Start with a free 10-minute service check to help us understand what support you need.
Training & Learning
Workshops, courses, modules and learning pathways that develop practical knowledge, skills and confidence for life, work and a changing world.
- Choose from our established programmes or work with us to design learning around your outcomes.
Coaching & Personal Development
Individual and group coaching that helps people establish direction, overcome barriers and turn their goals into sustainable action.
- One-to-one coaching, group coaching and structured personal development pathways.
Organisational Effectiveness & Transformation
Practical support that helps organisations improve, manage change, strengthen their people and systems and achieve better outcomes.
- Around eighty percent of this work is with charities, CICs and community organisations, with specialist partners including Creative One Stop and Aqua Accounts.
The distinctive journey
At the heart of our work is lived experience. We start with the need, not the service. We do not stop at solving the problem in front of us — every piece of support is a step on a journey that ends in independence for people and lasting capability for organisations.
Sometimes the answer is information. Sometimes it is training, coaching, an existing Ubuntu programme, a bespoke intervention, or connection to specialist expertise. The right support depends on the person, family, organisation or community in front of us.

Information, Advice & Guidance
Don't know what to do next?
Start with us.
Healthcare, banking, government services, employment, business administration and everyday communication are becoming increasingly digital. Sometimes people simply need someone to help them understand what is in front of them.
Our IAG service provides practical support to help people understand information, navigate systems and identify appropriate next steps.
Our support does not always end when the immediate issue is resolved. Where appropriate, we connect people with training, coaching and digital learning that can help them become more confident and independent.
- Start with a free 10-minute service check.
- The initial 10-minute assessment is free. After that, support is a £55 minimum per visit for registered service users and £25 per session for Ubuntu Members.
- Where a situation requires ongoing support, we assess the complexity, estimate the time and agree the maximum cost with you before continuing.
Our Partners

We work with NHS organisations, councils, charities, community organisations, businesses and funders to develop and deliver programmes that create meaningful impact, alongside specialist consulting and professional partners where expertise beyond our own is required.
