Zesti CIC

Systems‑based solutions for complex wellbeing challenges — better by design.

Sculpting the conditions for individuals, communities, and organisations to feel better together — through regenerative, nature‑based and evidence‑informed behaviour systems shaped by design.

Zesti CIC is the applied, strategic arm of Zesti. Our work is grounded in research, shaped by ecological principles, and designed to create change that compounds over time. We focus on the systems, skills, and structures that allow regenerative practice to take root and keep growing — long after a project or contract ends.

We don’t deliver large programmes ourselves. Instead, we train, advise, influence, and build capacity so that partners, practitioners, and community organisations can deliver regenerative work with confidence, cultural relevance, and integrity.

Organisations work with Zesti CIC because they value approaches that are:

Research‑based

Our methods draw from behaviour science, ecological psychology, public health evidence, and lived experience. We translate complex guidance into practical, deprivation‑aware approaches that work in real lives and real places.

Ecologically sound

We design systems that restore, replenish, and reconnect — aligning human wellbeing with ecological wellbeing. Our work is rooted in nature‑based principles that strengthen resilience across individuals, communities, and environments.

Compounding in effect

Regeneration is not a one‑off intervention. We build the conditions for change to accumulate — through skills, structures, and cultures that grow stronger with use, not weaker.

Our core offer includes:

Training & workforce development
Regenerative behaviour design, culturally inclusive coaching, and systems‑aware practice for practitioners, volunteers, and leaders.
Consultancy & systems design
Helping councils, health systems, and community organisations embed regenerative principles into policy, pathways, and delivery models.
Advocacy & strategic influence
Championing regenerative approaches that prioritise equity, ecological coherence, and long‑term wellbeing.
Capacity building & partnership support
Strengthening local infrastructures so community groups and delivery partners can thrive with stability and purpose.

Zesti CIC exists to make regeneration practical, credible, and structurally supported — designing the conditions where people, communities, and ecosystems can grow stronger together.
