No one understands a community better than the people who live there. In some areas of England, people are already coming together to solve problems for themselves, and we support them as they run businesses which help their whole community and recycle money back into the local area. Community businesses revive local assets, protect the services people rely on, and address local needs. \r\n\r\nPower to Change is an independent trust, whose funding and practical support strengthens community businesses in England, at a time when many parts of the UK face cuts, neglect and social problems, making sure their local areas survive and stay vibrant.
