Helping local people help other local people

Communities Care

We help people and communities across the country to use their talents to start and run small enterprises and community businesses that support and care for other local people. They create good local jobs and keep local money local. They help people live a good life, connected with and contributing to their community.

People Can

People sometimes need support to live their lives. The help they need can overshadow their skills. This waste of talent hurts the person, their community and society. We help people dream and make things happen. We help local organisations to create the conditions in which people can follow their dreams.

Would you like more people’s voices in the design of services or have a system process or a culture you want to change? Or perhaps you see a need for a more preventative strategy and plan for your service?

We want you to see the possibilities and support you to make it happen. We can help you to reimagine how you deliver your services and supports and do them even better!
