They are groups of people living in a particular area who want to help make things better for their community.

They are groups of people living in a particular area who want to help make things better for their community.

These people care about where they live, and their neighbours too. Together, tackling local issues, they become a powerful bunch.

Groups are normally set up by residents:

• To campaign for something – such as a better repairs service, better grass cutting service, or more activities for youngsters.
• To campaign against something – such as new housing policies or closure of community facilities.
• To increase community spirit.
• To keep other people informed about issues that might affect them.
• To arrange fun events and make friends.
