Amazing Communities Together (ACT)
Our mission is simple yet powerful: to champion and support grassroots decision-making, bringing people and communities together, setting local priorities and driving national change.
We’re a vibrant network of over 170 community groups working to make a real difference in our neighbourhoods. Our goal? Stronger connections and a thriving sense of community for everyone, right across the UK.
At ACT, we embrace diverse challenges and opportunities across coastal, rural, and urban areas. Our wide-ranging membership enables us to offer responsive support to community groups throughout England. We’re not just passive observers; we’re active listeners and partners in growth, ready to support our members’ development, drawing on our real-world collective expertise to co-design resident-led solutions. Our approach is rooted in practical experience, ensuring that our support is both relevant and effective for each unique community we serve.
