Who are we?
We are a national network of over 700 inspiring, ambitious and dedicated community-led organisations and 200 associate partners.
The Locality staff team works all around England but our head office is near Old Street in East London. We are a team of friendly and hard-working community-sector professionals working to support our members and the communities they serve.
What do we do?
All our work aims to inspire local communities to change and improve.
- We help people to set up locally owned and led organisations
- We support organisations to exchange ideas and best practice on community asset ownership, community enterprise and social action
- We work to influence government and others at national and local level to build support and investment for the movement.
Our projects
We also run a wide range of national projects, including Community Organisers, Community Rights, the Asset Transfer Unit, and neighbourhood planning.
