Building Collective Power: What’s New in the CFG Ecosystem

ree



The Connecting for Good ecosystem is alive with action and it’s growing every day.


From grassroots campaigns to creative movements, this is about people coming together to lead change in Coventry.






Here’s what’s happening right now and how you can get involved.



Introducing Our Core Team


Meet Mel, Ade, Amandeep, Neil, Emmanuelle and Rose. They’re the connectors and strategists who hold the space for the ecosystem to grow.


The Core Team is standing in front of the Grapevine office. They are all smiling.

We asked them:


“What change are you hoping this ecosystem work will bring to Coventry?”


Find out what they said and meet the team → [Visit the Ecosystem Page]
