Support
Community groups and local people have the ideas and skills to improve where they live. But all too often, red tape, a lack of resources, and a culture of mistrust make delivering that change an uphill struggle.
Local people know their neighbourhood best. This year, new neighbourhood governance arrangements are set to be introduced across England, but what they will look like is still being decided. We have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to put people, not just politicians, in the driving seat of local decision-making.
Join our call for communities to have a real say over the decisions that shape their places and futures.

Help us shift power to communities
Thousands of us care deeply about giving local people and community organisations the ability to shape their places and futures. To convince the government to give greater control to communities, we need to work together as a movement. Can you help us to make the case for community power?
Take action by:
- Sharing your support on social media
- Reaching out to your local newspaper
- Writing a blog on community power
- Speaking to your MP or local councillor
Our campaign toolkit includes a range of useful resources and templates that will help you to take action. Learn about different ways you can support the campaign based on how much time you have to spare. And if you’re a MP or councillor interested in supporting the campaign in your official capacity, please get in touch below!

Share your story
We want to show the government all the great things community organisations and groups are already doing. By sharing stories from across the country, we can demonstrate how much more we could achieve together if politicians and civil servants treated communities like trusted partners.
You can help by telling us what you’re doing in your area.
