Communities ambitious for change
Steve Wyler Locality
• Locality aims to grow a movement of independent local community organisations.
• We believe that local citizens should be in control
of their own communities.

Multi-purpose community enterprises.
Run by local people. A problem-solving can-do
attitude.
Large and small, urban and rural, our members are independent, run by local people.
They work in poor communities, in places where
government agencies and private businesses have failed.
Through our network we share skills: – To trade for community benefit – social enterprise– To bring land and buildings into community ownership– To help local citizens make change happen
