We believe that the more connected we are, the more we can do, together.
All over the UK, people are coming together to make positive changes in their communities, and as a response to the COVID-19 situation we have seen a huge increase of people coming together to respond to their community’s needs.
Whether you've dipped your toe in the water with supporting a neighbour, or set up a community support group; you already run a community project and have done for years, or you've just got an idea you want to explore - you are all invited to join our network and connect with like-minded people who help each other along the way.
We also have our online sessions series - join us for an opportunity to dive a little deeper into more specific areas of interest – from network building to food resilience, from activism to the role community arts can play in this new normal. Look out for what’s coming up here or on our Facebook page.
