What we do
Our projects
We set up and partner on projects and pilots that demonstrate how to build stronger communities, and use the learning to advocate to change.
The growth and flourishing of community businesses has always been our goal, both in our early years as a funder, and now as we shape the conditions for community business to thrive.
To do this, we need to know what works.We do, test and learn what works to make community businesses thrive. We work alongside community businesses to test innovative models, and we continue to support community businesses to grow and be sustainable through our partnership courses.
We test different ways to do things through pilot projects, using the evidence from these to advocate for policies and new ideas that will benefit communities. This benefits not only the community businesses directly involved in the pilots, but the wider movement too.
