About this site

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.

Margaret Mead

If you agree with this quote, as we do at Friends of the Earth, then Community is here to help you.

Community is a web resource for local campaigners. It's packed with advice about how to organise and how to campaign, it provides in-depth information about campaigning on environmental issues, and it gives you the opportunity to share your experiences and learn from other local campaigners too.

The site draws on many years experience of local campaigning. It's been developed for Friends of the Earth local groups throughout England, Wales and Northern Ireland, but much of what you'll find in these pages will be useful to all local community campaigners.

Community will evolve over time, driven by what local campaigners tell us is most helpful to them. If you find this site useful, or even if you don't, please do give us your feedback to help build it for the future.
