Helping our communities do the right thing well

About
Creative Sensemaking Community Interest Company (CIC) grew out of voluntary work we were doing as Clean Air Barnet (“CAB”) in collaboration with Creative Sensemaking Limited – a for-profit company run by one of our founding directors. In 2025 the decision was taken to close the limited company and establish Sensemaking as a not-for-profit CIC.
Sensemaking is our core brand with Clean Air Barnet being the brand used for our air quality project activities.
Who are we
We are a team of people from different backgrounds who share a passion for improving the health and wellbeing of our communities and our environment.
We collectively have many years of experience relating to behavioural change, community engagement, data analysis, education and leadership development, insight creation and communication, organisational decision making and strategy.


Our approach
We believe:
- in the power of collaboration and the importance of evidence-based knowledge and insight.
- that sharing insights and stories rather than data, helps to engage people emotionally and rationally and leads to better outcomes.
We combine our skills and knowledge to help people across our communities make sense of the world around them in ways that help them “do the right thing well”.
We are
Dave, Ruth, Chris, and Doug
