Together We Can 

Together We Can
Since 2017 

‘Together We Can’. This is a unique collaboration between 3 grassroots organisations who have been committed to a long-term, neighbourhood-wide journey of intergenerational community-building, seeking to root connectedness and leadership among local residents to grow a stronger sense of community and supporting people to feel empowered to make things happen.

​

Together We Can is a 10 year project, beginning in January 2017 and due to end it’s current funding cycle in June 2026.  It has been jointly funded by the Big Local Programme and by the National Lottery Community Fund.

​

Uniquely, it is not about delivering particular projects or services. Instead,our approach is to be alongside neighbours on a journey of involvement, discovery and growth. As neighbours connect with others, do things together and share their passions, gifts and skills, they grow in confidence, become more resilient and, in turn, are more able to encourage and enable others to participate in community life.

​

It has been important to monitor, evaluate, and celebrate the difference that the project is making, and to reflect on what we are learning to shape our future.  We have worked with an external independent evaluator, Jane Perry, who has a trusted participatory social researcher.
