Aims and activities
LocalMotion was created by six established funders in the UK who shared a desire to find new and better ways to tackle the common issues communities face.
Working with six places in England and Wales (Carmarthen, Enfield, Lincoln, Oldham, Middlesbrough and Torbay), they are building a social, economic and environmental justice movement by communities, for communities.
The movement seeks to understand local strengths in the places and to challenge typical power structures and hierarchies that become barriers to a community’s progress and hold them back. It is about bringing people, organisations and institutions together, so that communities in the six places can benefit from joined up thinking, pooled resources and long-term collaboration and planning with the UK funding community.
Funders have got involved in places and challenged themselves on what they can do differently.
