Why Become a Social Action Hub?

Social Action Hubs are organisations rooted in their communities that believe lasting change happens when people are listened to, connected and organised to act together. There are many benefits to becoming a Social Action Hub and being part of our network.

Be part of something bigger

By joining as a Social Action Hub you are helping to grow an independent movement of grassroots organisations committed to strengthening communities through organising, participation and action.

This is not a transactional membership service. It is a collective effort to build long-term neighbourhood resilience and democratic power.

Connect with organisations facing similar challenges

Being part of the Social Action Hub Network enables you to build relationships with locally rooted organisations across the country who are:

  • organising in low-income communities
  • responding to local issues
  • developing community leadership
  • creating spaces for participation
  • navigating funding and policy pressures

Learn from each other, share practice and act together.

Shape national conversations

As a network, we identify common issues emerging in neighbourhoods and amplify grassroots voices nationally.

Together, we can influence:

  • policy
  • public debate
  • funding conversations
  • approaches to participation and democracy
  • how institutions work with communities
And most importantly; build collective power. One organisation can feel isolated. Hundreds of organisations organising together can become a national force for change.
Nick Gardham, CEO Community Organisers

We believe communities should not simply be consulted. They should have the relationships, confidence and power to shape the future of their neighbourhoods. That's why we are part of the Social Action Hub Network.

Three Pillars of Community Organising

Good community organising practice is built upon high quality training, experienced mentoring and support and, of course, putting the learning in to practice.
That's why our core work at Community Organisers is built around 'Training', 'Support' and 'Action'.
