What we do
We are the think-do tank that backs community business
Power to Change works hand in hand with community businesses to test new approaches to some of our biggest societal challenges, and create the conditions for community businesses to flourish. We shape policy and shift practice in order to build community power and boost the scale and impact of community business. Together we can bring power and prosperity back to our communities.
Our priorities
Current projects
We do, test and learn what works to make community businesses thrive. We set up and partner on projects and pilots that demonstrate how to build stronger communities, and use the learning to advocate for change and create better economies.
Civic High Street Collective
The Civic High Street Collective brings partners together to champion a mixed-use, civic model where high streets are reimagined as places for local services, heritage and culture, community and housing.
Developing the Regional Social Economy
We work in partnership with regional and combined authorities to understand the unique needs of their local social economy and community businesses. We’ve worked with community businesses to shape the development of social investment funds and growth strategies in places like Liverpool City Region, North East and the West Midlands.
