As one part of our Creating Places for Everyone action plan, Locality is committed to supporting online specialist peer networking groups, resourced through our Connectors-UK programme, funded by the National Lottery Community Fund.
Our peer networking groups will operate across a broad typology of the Locality membership that is discussed in our Creating Places for Everyone report. While not intended to be neat or definitive, this typology has helped us shape our support offer so that it is relevant to organisations working in different contexts. You can read more about the typologies in the report. We recognise that this is not a fixed typology and there will be overlapping support needs for organisations across the areas.
This group, established in response to Locality's "No More Blank Pages" report in 2021, is an existing peer networking group. Locality will continue to resource this group and adapt it to evolving needs, to ensure leaders of colour have a safe and supportive space, rooted in empathy, trust and empowerment, which can help equip them with tools and strategies to address leadership challenges.
This group is open to members with Essentials or Membership Plus packages only.
