Why your support matters

Community-led approaches are gaining traction because they work – and we see this every day. With decades of experience, our team has developed a framework that is simple yet powerful: it brings schools and communities together to build on local strengths, deepen trust, and create spaces where local people lead lasting change.

What makes this approach unique? 

  • Strengths-based and inclusive – we start with what’s already strong in the community, not what’s missing. 
  • Evidence-driven – independent evaluation shows hubs strengthen relationships, increase participation, and improve wellbeing.
  • Aligned with best practice – our work reflects national priorities for locally-led solutions and sustainable change.
  • Proven traction – with over 20 hubs linked to 40+ schools, thousands of attendances, and indicators of impact on community and educational outcomes, there is growing demand. 

Get involved

We work with partners, funders, volunteers and local residents to support communities and build on the strengths, skills and assets already in place.
