Our partnerships and supporters
Julie’s Bicycle would not exist without the support and partnership of a wide range of inspiring organisations and funders. Here are some of our achievements together:
we make tomorrow
With the support of Stichting Benevolentia, Paul Hamlyn Foundation, and the British Council, Julie’s Bicycle has launched We Make Tomorrow – an ambitious three-year global call and campaign uniting artists, cultural leaders, and communities worldwide to put culture at the heart of climate action. Together, we are building a global movement that amplifies creative voices, shapes policy, and sparks collective imagination for a resilient tomorrow.
We’re now seeking new partners and funders to help grow this work – expanding its reach, deepening its impact, and ensuring culture has a front seat at the table.

Changemakers (formerly CCL)
Our Changemakers programme (formerly Creative Climate Leadership) supports artists and cultural professionals to lead the creative response to the climate crisis. Through in-person and online courses co-designed with regional partners, participants explore how culture can inspire action and build just, sustainable futures. With over 300 alumni across 30 countries, the programme is rooted in peer connection and long-term support. Past editions have been supported by funders including: Pro Helvetia, Stiftung Mercator Schweiz, Porticus, Arts Council England, British Council, and the Swedish Postcode Foundation.
Billie Eilish
In 2025, Billie Eilish selected Julie’s Bicycle to be part of her Changemaker Initiative, using her platform to spotlight our work on sustainability in the arts. Billie’s and her fans’ support connected us with a powerful network of climate-focused organisations across Europe and is helping JB achieve its mission throughout 2025. This collaboration reflects the vital role artists can play in driving climate action.
Culture: The Missing Link to Climate Action
This international research project explored the opportunity for new links between cultural policy and environmental policy. Led by Julie’s Bicycle and delivered in partnership with the British Council for The Climate Connection, the work combined global roundtables, interviews, and a survey of cultural institutions and ministries. The findings show that while creativity and climate ambition are strong across the sector, national policies are still falling short. What’s needed now is meaningful integration of culture into environmental planning. You can read the summary report to explore the full findings.
Ways to Give
Julie’s Bicycle is a registered charity with no regular core funding. Everything we do is made possible through funding from trusts and foundations, philanthropy, donations, partnership collaborations, and earned income. This model ensures we remain independent and values-driven, but it also means we rely on the continued support of those who share our commitment to culture-led climate action.
