We listen to communities and support them to take action. We support local, place-based initiatives and help raise the voices of communities.

playing a critical role supporting
Hampshire’s communities

Proudly diverse

Since 2005, we've raised the voices of seldom heard communities, and led work on health inequalities, fuel poverty, social isolation and other inequities.

18 years

celebrating diversity and challenging inequity

We work collaboratively in support of strong, connected and equitable communities. We empower charities, social enterprises, community groups and purpose-driven businesses to share ideas, learn from one another and work together. 

From our expertise in social enterprise and community buildings, to projects addressing rural development and health inequalities, we listen to Hampshire's communities and support them to thrive.

We strengthen, challenge, and connect.

We believe in the leadership power of communities and champion local, place-based action. We seek to challenge inequality and to promote inclusion in all we do. We would love to hear from you - please get in touch!

Many thanks for the sterling work you are doing on behalf of us all. I for one would be lost without it.
