We are the think-do tank that backs community business from the ground up.
We do this through:
Growing community-led local economies
Creating community-powered places & spaces
Building community-centred public services
We turn bold ideas into action so communities have the power to change what matters to them.
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.
