What we do

Locality supports local community organisations to be strong and successful.

Our vision is to create a fairer society where every community thrives. We believe local community organisations are the key. Every day they unlock the power of community. They know the place, the people, the problems, and they care.

That’s why we support them. We provide specialist advice, peer-learning and resources, and we campaign for policies and funding that help communities thrive.
