BACKING OUR NEIGHBOURHOODS
Make ‘levelling up’ work by putting communities in the lead
Our new report reveals 63% of us agree local people should have more power over their local area. To realise its levelling up ambitions, government needs to decentralise funding, invest in social infrastructure and put communities in the lead.
YOUR POWER TO CHANGE
We exist to help communities revive local assets, protect the services people rely on, and address local needs through community business.
Together we can create better places. With our unique insights into the sector and your expert knowledge and experience, we can overcome the barriers communities face and further explore the role of communities in economic recovery.
Our mission is to strengthen community businesses to tackle some of society’s biggest challenges at a local level.
Recovery is happening and community businesses should be central to local economic growth.
