Who we are

Who we are

We are the think-do tank that backs community business from the ground up.

We know community business works to build stronger communities and better places to live. We’ve seen people create resilient and prosperous local economies when power is in community hands. We also know the barriers that stand in the way of their success.

We’re using our experience to bring partners together to do, test and learn what works. We’re shaping the conditions for community business to thrive.

Our approach

We want more communities in England run businesses that give them the power to change what matters to them. To do that, we’re testing and learning what works for them.
