We’re Right Here

The campaign for community power

The We’re Right Here’s campaign is calling for national policy change, so that local people can shape the spaces, public services and spending decisions in their area.

We are calling for:

  • A powerful new set of community rights
  • Power sharing agreements between councils and communities

Campaign Overview

We're Right Here is driven by community leaders with direct experience of making things happen in their local areas.

They are supported by eight national organisations committed to ‘community power’. These include: Locality, Power to Change, New Local, Local Trust, the Young Foundation, the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, People’s Health Trust and Esmee Fairburn Foundation.

The campaign draws on the energy and ambition of those committed to their communities and places. It also seeks to harness their frustration at a system that too often gets in the way.

We’re Right Here is currently campaigning for the English Devolution Bill to fundamentally change where power lies, so that communities can take back control for real.
