A women-led network of neighbourhood associations taking action on poverty and inequality.
We’re proud to be a founding partner of the One World Together movement. As an organisation focused on social justice, unrestricted funding is critical to us to ensure we can adapt quickly to our communities’ needs. We sometimes have to organise quickly or on issues which are not priorities for funders, such as spatial planning or fighting against urban developments that run counter to our communities’ interests. We also have to respond to rapidly changing contexts, as we have seen during the cost of living crisis. One World Together donations have already let us set up crisis grants for vulnerable families who are struggling to make ends meet.
Community Savers have long been inspiring us with the work they do supporting and responding to their communities. Its members work tirelessly for their communities and you cannot get closer to the community than these savings groups: they are the community. We’re also inspired by their links with Shack/Slum Dwellers International. These highlight the strengths of a global community that One World Together believes in, with communities learning and building strength from connections in all corners of the world.
