I am the author of Radical Help: How We Can Remake the Relationships Between Us & Revolutionise the Welfare State published by Virago LittleBrown. Radical Help was hailed as ‘mind shifting’ in the New York Times and a read of the year in the Guardian.
My writing is born out of my social practice. I am happiest with my sleeves rolled up, working alongside communities, governments and change-makers from all walks of life. In 2020 I started a new project R/Evolution 5.0. I’m exploring how the three forces of a tech revolution, an ecological crisis and a growing desire for social justice have amplified the need to think again about our social and economic systems. Current work includes a worker-led collaboration on future work; practice on radical care and ongoing support to those implementing the principles of Radical Help world wide. You can read more here.
In 2024 I will be writing a second book about the future of our working lives and work organising (publication Spring 2025).
If you would like to invite me to speak you can find out more here. My engagements have included Hay and Edinburgh Literature Festivals, the global business community at the World Economic Forum at Davos, activists in village halls and TED talks.
