Our work

There’s a place for everyone

Whether you have time, skills, or simply want to stay connected, there are many ways to be part of your local community.

Why we exist

Strong communities don’t happen by accident. They’re built by people who care about where they live and the people around them.

We exist to support local volunteers with practical tools, guidance, and connections — so they can take action on the issues that matter most in their communities.

Supporting local leadership

We believe the best ideas come from the people closest to the community. Our role is to back local leaders with training, resources, and encouragement so they can turn ideas into action.

Bringing people together

We create spaces for people to connect, share experiences, and learn from one another — building stronger relationships across neighbourhoods.

Our Values

Our values guide how we work with volunteers, partners, and communities every day.

Community-led

Local people understand their communities best. We listen first and support what already exists.

Inclusive

We work to ensure everyone feels welcome, respected, and able to take part.

Practical

We focus on actions that make a real difference, not complicated processes.

How we work with communities

We work alongside communities, not above them. Our approach is collaborative, flexible, and grounded in lived experience.

Whether it’s supporting a local group, running a workshop, or connecting people with the right resources, we focus on what will be most useful and achievable.
