Practical Hope: inspiration for community action

This resource is part of a collection called Practical Hope: Inspiration for Community Action.

Community action is transforming neighbourhoods across the country,
helping to deliver places where everyone can lead a healthy, fulfilling life.

This pamphlet includes case studies from communities working on amazing projects in a variety of contexts. We hope these examples will inspire anyone interested in making change happen in their local community, from using food as a catalyst for connection to creating skills and knowledge sharing networks.

The case studies also contain practical advice and lessons to help community groups, both new and established, succeed. It includes:

  • Practical advice from community projects across England.
  • Principles for success.
  • Funding opportunities.
  • Links to other organisations and sources of further
    information and support.
