LocalMotion brings together six communities and five major funding organisations to support community led action. We are reimagining how communities, funders, and systems can work together more equitably, more effectively, and more inclusively - for everyone.
We believe that with imagination, courage and deep collaboration, lasting change is not only possible – it is already happening. Together we create spaces and networks for connection and collaboration that create powerful, lasting change in how things are done. Bringing resources and decision making into local hands, where we believe that real change happens.
LocalMotion works in six places: Torbay, Oldham, Middlesbrough, Lincoln, Enfield and Carmarthen - where communities are building on local strengths, imagining new futures and leading change that lasts.
Our five funding partners are City Bridge Trust, Esmée Fairbairn Foundation, Lankelly Chase Foundation, Lloyds Bank Foundation for England and Wales, and Paul Hamlyn Foundation.
Together we are building a social, economic, and environmental justice movement. By communities, for communities.
Connection to Esmée's strategy
- Priorities
- Long-term outcomes
- Local people come together to determine equitable and aspirational visions of what they want their community to be.
- Local people are able to exert more influence over the decisions that affect their lives and are the drivers of change.
