Putting power in local hands to create better futures nationwide.
Amazing Communities Together (ACT) is a national network formed by community leaders from Big Local areas across England. After ten years of major funding coming to an end, communities needed a way to stay connected, supported and influential. ACT was created to ensure local organisations do not lose momentum, confidence or visibility as funding cycles close.
We bring people together, share practical learning, build leadership skills and help communities influence decisions at every level. Our work is driven by lived experience, rooted in local knowledge, and focused on long-term change.
