LocalMotion is a joint initiative by six funders and six places across the UK to support communities in a more radical, joined-up way.
Together, we set out to use our collective resources, experience and strengths to maximise the 'power of place' working with local partners to challenge existing norms and shape philanthropic practice.
LocalMotion's ultimate goal is to inspire new ways of tackling the common social, economic and environmental issues that communities face, so they can thrive and flourish.
