Copperfinch Information

Building skills to lead sustainable social change. We believe that how we “do development” has to change in order to realise the fairer and more equitable world we believe is possible. Those promoting social change need exceptional soft skills to remain resilient, passionate, innovative and effective. We support leaders and their teams working in the humanitarian and development space. We enhance the skills necessary to transform how they work by providing coaching, training and facilitation services. Who we are Copperfinch is the brainchild of Sarah-Jane Marriott, Rachel Alvarez-Reyes and Jo Kemp, all of whom have extensive and varied experience of working in international development, as well as in organisational learning and leadership and team development. We are united by a passion for developing the skills we believe are essential to lead sustainable social change. As consultants, coaches, facilitators and trainers, we believe first and foremost in listening (seek first to understand). Everything we do is focused on supporting our clients to build and sustain the skills necessary to listen to their own voices and those of others, ensuring meaningful and lasting change. As individuals we have supported a range of different clients in the international development sector including UN agencies, multilateral and bilateral donors (DFID, DFAT, GAVI, USAID, EU, NZAID, World Bank) international NGOs and local CSOs. We have experience working in over 20 countries across the Pacific, Asia and Africa. To discuss how we may be able to support your organisation please get in touch at hello@copperfinch.co.uk.
