Download the Stories of Action booklet to read the actions inspired by the Community Organisers Expansion Programme

The Community Organisers Expansion Programme was a training programme to introduce 3,500 people to community organising over a three year period. The Programme introduced almost 4,000 people to community organising through a network of 25 Social Action Hubs and a range of local and national partners.

Although the Programme was a training and development programme rather than a social action programme, the ultimate aim was for residents to take action together in and across England’s most deprived neighbourhoods for social change – focused on the issues that matter most to them.

Through reporting by Social Action Hubs we know that as a result of the Programme, 30,000 people were engaged in one-to-one conversations and 3,000 people were activated or mobilised in social action.

This stories booklet highlights just some of the stories of action inspired by the Programme.

Alongside the stories booklet we also published the full Programme Report and a Learning Report
