Do you have an idea that could bring about change? Do you want to find out how we use Community Organising to tackle isolation and marginalisation?
We want to find out about YOU, your loves, concerns and visions for your local area/community
A 1-1 is a 40 minute conversation between two people to get to know each other’s story and values. It’s an opportunity to understand whether we share the same passion for injustice, the skills we have and the time we would like to commit.

Our training will give you an insight into the Community Organising fundamentals. It will help you to develop as a Change Maker/ Community Leader. This will enable you to step into your own power and take action on the local issues that matter to you and your community.
We are offering a free personalised journey into community organising and an opportunity to make long lasting change in Coventry. Are you ready to start your leadership journey?
