People, stories and collaboration

The things that make change happen

We are a social enterprise aimed at promoting the benefits of collaborative, strengths-based and community driven approaches. Our mission is to accelerate progress towards a future where public services work in equal partnership with local people rather than ‘to’ or ‘for’ them using these approaches.
