Fantastic to see Dom Ford, Worthing Cllr, in @themjcouk this week, sharing how his council has pioneered a new model in which communities help shape their own futures. 🔗 edition.pagesuite-professional.co.uk/html5/reader/p… (page 18) #CommunityPoweredPolitics #Devolution

Next week we’re taking the call for community power to Downing Street with our Community Leaders. Does your organisation believe local decisions should be made WITH local people, not to them? Sign our letter to @Keir_Starmer & @AngelaRayner. actionnetwork.org/petitions/comm…

What does the new English Devolution & Community Empowerment deliver for communities – and what’s missing? Find out in our new blog: right-here.org/will-the-engli… TLDR: It’s a good start but the Bill must include more power for communities to shape services and spending decisions.

📣 Calling all community organisations: If you want more #CommunityPower, sign our letter to the Prime Minister. Our campaign leader, Sacha Bedding, has written an open letter urging the government to grant more power to local people. ✍️ Will you sign? actionnetwork.org/petitions/comm…

🚨 JUST IN: Our Campaign Leaders Charlotte Hollins & Claude Hendrickson on the Carbon Copy podcast! They’re talking all things community power, check it out here: shows.acast.com/620253d376b456… #CommunityPoweredPolitics

We had a great time at the @CoopParty Local Govt Conference this past weekend🌱 Brilliant conversations about community power + meeting the people putting it into action. We want to see #CommunityPoweredPolitics in every council. @hopper_claude

Yesterday’s #SpendingReview did not go far enough to empower local people. If spending power is transferred only to mayors & local authorities, the knowledge & skills of communities will remain untapped. There’s still time to turn things around in the English #Devolution Bill.

Great article by @FredThomasUK highlighting our stark findings and the urgent need to give local people more control over the decisions that affect their places and public services. You can find the full results of our polling here: right-here.org/wp-content/upl…

With local elections fast approaching, polling reveals a clear public demand: devolve power, and do it at the community level. Over 50% of the UK believes that giving community groups more power over local decisions would improve their areas. 📊👉 right-here.org/wp-content/upl…

People know their areas better than anyone. They experience the problems and understand what would fix them. We’re backing the @right_hereUK campaign to shift power to the people who know what’s best. right-here.org #WereRightHere

Great to meet @AndyBurnhamGM and team last week to discuss embedding #CommunityPower in Manchester.

We are proud to support @right_hereUK's campaign, which can unleash communities’ expertise to improve the building blocks of our health. Read more about We're Right Here: right-here.org

Exciting to see our campaign gain momentum in Parliament! This morning, we spoke with MPs in Parliament about shifting decision-making closer to communities. Our community champion Hannah Sloggett reports from Westminster.👇 #CommunityPoweredPolitics @camperbird

The Devolution Bill is a huge opportunity to shift power out of Westminster & into communities. ✊💛 Over 200 people joined last week’s webinar, bringing incredible energy & optimism to make it happen. See our new campaign toolkit: right-here.org/wp-content/upl…

Community-powered politics went down a storm at the Labour LGA Conference! We ran a workshop with local authorities to hash out the strengths and barriers to advancing community power. It was fantastic to hear the positivity and insightful discussions in the room.

Congratulations to the residents of Frome who won their five-year battle to create a community-led development in their town! @MaydaySaxonvale 👏 With a Community Right to Buy, we hope to see more community ownership across the UK. buff.ly/4gdv61k
