SOCIAL ACTION HUB
Wiltshire + Swindon

Let's do something amazing, together.

COMMUNITY ORGANISING

Are you looking for better ways to motivate people to get involved in your community, organisation or group? Do you want to help bring people together to collectively tackle important local issues or social issues at a grassroots level? Community Organising is for you!

Community Organising is the work of bringing people together to take action around their common concerns and overcome social injustice. Community organisers reach out and listenconnect and motivate people to build their collective power.

Social Action Hub Wiltshire + Swindon is part of a network of Social Action Hubs, offering training to help you discover how to listen to people, understand your community and motivate people to take action for a better community. The training, led by qualified Community Organisers Alex Neale and Katrina Watson, is offered free to residents, grassroots organisations and partners in Wiltshire and Swindon.
