WHO ARE WE?
Small Axe is a not-for-profit with one goal: to create movements that are progressive, hopeful and powerful, to inspire people to act on the most pressing issues of our time. We bring together bold creative, communications and organising to run integrated end-to-end campaigns.
We campaign with humility, integrity and passion for the causes we work on; whether hired by clients, collaborating with partners, or launching our own.
We’re proud that our work has played a crucial role in three General Elections.
Right now we’re working on campaigns with Compass, The National Education Union, EveryDoctor, International Rescue Committee, Citizens UK, Pembroke House and more.
We don’t work with corporations, we don’t do CSR and we don’t extract profit from the movement. We’ve been a worker co-operative from the beginning.
